The Orioles (14-10) found success for the first time in five tries against the Yankees (13-10) this season beating them 7-1 on Tuesday night. Orioles starter Brian Matusz was unusually impressive in his outing against the Yanks, Matusz went 6 1/3, only allowing one run on six hits and struck out four. Yankees starter Phil Hughes went 5 2/3 innings gave up four runs on four hits and struck out six.

The Orioles got on the board in the second inning thanks to a Chris Davis solo shot off of Phil Hughes.  It was Davis 5th homerun of the season. J.J. Hardy would add two more with a two run home run in the third inning, his 4th. In the sixth inning Wilson Betemit made the score 4-1 with a RBI single, then a costly two run error by Yankee left fielder Eduardo Nunez would make the score 6-1. A Nick Johnson RBI double in the eighth inning off Rafael Soriano would finally make the score 7-1.

The only Yankee run came in the first inning thanks to a Curtis Granderson solo home run. It was Granderson’s 9th home run of the year, tying him with Josh Hamilton for the AL lead.
