Orioles Outlast Yankees In Extra Innings Again

For the 2nd straight day, the New York Yankees and Baltimore Orioles played an extra inning game.

And for the 2nd straight day, the Orioles outlasted the Yanks in extra innings.  Baltimore defeated New York, 5-4 on Thursday afternoon in front of a sparse crowd at Camden Yards.

Robert Andino had the game-winning hit off of Scott Proctor in the 10th inning that scored Nolan Reimold. Andino also had the game-tying hit in the 8th inning.  The Orioles' 2nd baseman went 2 for 5 with 2 RBIs.

This was a make-up game due to the Hurricane Irene rainout in late August.  The Yankees initially didn't want to come to Baltimore because it was taking away an off day.

The Yankees jumped out to a 4-1 lead in the 3rd inning but they didn't score again.  In fact, New York didn't get a hit after the 4th inning.  The Baltimore bullpen had 6 shutout innings for the 2nd day in a row.

Ivan Nova just have much command today.  The rookie, who didn't factor into today's decision, went 5 1/3 innings, allowing 5 hits, 3 runs and 3 walks.  Nova (15-4, 3.94 ERA) came in riding an 11 game winning streak.

Derek Jeter went 1 for 4 with 2 RBIs.  In 53 games since coming off the disabled list, he now has 36 RBI.

Yesterday afternoon, the O's beat the Yanks by the same 5-4 score in 11 innings in a game played in the Bronx.

New York went 12-6 against Baltimore this season.
