Yankees in first place, but Orioles are still East's team to beat

The Orioles are in second place and yet the Yankees are chasing them.

Their head-to-head matchups are more revealing. The Orioles have won five of the seven while clearly looking like the superior team.

Trevino actually ended up pitching the ninth Thursday for a bullpen that is both a midseason tryout camp and worsening calamity. Tim Hill was signed Thursday morning and gave up a three-run homer to Anthony Santander a few hours later as part of what was a 16-run barrage against Yankee relievers in these three games. But nothing was quite as disturbing during these three games as Luis Gil’s start.

In all, Baltimore was 4-for-6 with runners in scoring position against Gil, who had held hitters to 5-for-48 in that situation all year. The Orioles scored seven runs against four outs, matching the number of earned runs Gil had allowed in his first seven home starts this season.
