The Yankees found another way to lose last night, blowing the series opener against the Red Sox in Fenway in extras. It’s just the latest in a line of missed opportunities for New York lately, but it hurts all the same to see this team in such a funk. While they were throwing away their late lead, the rest of the league was hard at work fighting for the other playoff spots up for grabs.
The Orioles have been one of the sensational stories of this season, fighting their way back to relevancy after years spent in the cellar of the AL East.
