The Orioles move to within 2 games of the Yankees with an 8 – 3 win at New Yankee Stadium. Starter Chris Tillman has to leave the game after only 3 innings because of stiffness in his elbow, but the O’s rally behind Mark Reynolds, who hits two homers and drives in 4 runs; they then add 3 more runs in the 8th, as the Yankees use five pitchers in the inning in a vain attempt to keep within striking distance. Randy Wolf is the winner in his first game for the Birds.
