If the Baltimore Orioles are going to make a move in the AL East it has to start with starting pitching and then defense and of course last but not least hitting. The New York Yankees pushing their lead in the AL East up six games over the Blue Birds did just that in the three-piece at the Bronx Zoo!

It was Yanks starter Masahiro Tanaka going 7 plus frames allowing three runs on four hits for the ""W. He moves to 7-3 but he did give up three Bombs to the O's as "Crush" Davis, Manny Machado, and JJ Hardy all went solo shots.

Tanaka had the luxury though of getting seven runs in the first three frames including a crooked four in the 1st. O's starter Ubaldo Jimenez went into the 3rd before exiting giving up seven runs on eight hits as Jacoby Ellsbury hit a solo blast in the 3rd. The Yanks managed to add two more runs as they move to 53-41 and the O's fall to 46-48.

The Bombers will head to the Twin Cities for three and the O's head to Tampa for three starting Friday July 24th...
