The Orioles took an early lead and almost gave it up in the ninth, but held on to defeat the Yankees 7-6 in New York.
Daniel Cabrera became the first starter to pitch into the eighth inning in what seems like an eternity, and after allowing a single was ejected after hitting Alex Rodriguez with a pitch. Cabrera was shown shouting, "Why?" amongst other things, but was forced to leave the game. The bullpen almost let this one slip away...
Aubrey Huff smashed a solo homer off Mariano Rivera in the ninth, and that proved to be the game winner; Huff went 4 for 5 with four RBIs...George Sherrill came in with a 7-3 lead but allowed the Yankees to make it a game and probably sent a few fans in Baltimore to the hospital with cardiac arrest symptoms...
Sherrill allowed three runs to cross the plate and stranded the tying run at second base...he ended up striking out the side...
The Birds have won three straight and send Dennis Sarfate to the mound this afternoon...it's Sarfate's first Major League start...whatever happens, the O's have already won this series at Yankee Stadium!

I guess this will be the O's last series win in Yankee Stadium? Now, that would be a noteable ending for the O's up there...Gamer Huff is, how should I describe him, sizzling like hot bacon on a griddle...mmm, mmm, good...didn't get to see the game last night, but may try to see tonight's game in a cool restaurant...hope they can pull off another win...always great to beat the Yankees...tastes like the perfect filet mignon...maybe it'll be wrapped in sizzling bacon...
Spike
Spike,
We play at Yankee Stadium once more, September 19-21...hopefully we'll have one more series win...or even a sweep! That would be nice...
