The Baltimore Orioles held on for a 7-6 victory over the New York Yankees on Tuesday night.  A big four run seventh inning propelled the O’s to the big victory.  The Orioles did have a 7-3 lead heading into the bottom of the ninth inning but then the Yankees made things interesting as they scored three runs.

Aubrey Huff led the Orioles at the plate with a bases loaded clearing double in the seventh inning and a solo home run in the ninth inning.  Huff finished the game with a team high four rbi.  Melvin Mora was next in line with two rbi has he had a rbi single in the first inning that got the O’s on the scoreboard.  Kevin Millar finished up the scoring the the Orioles as he had a rbi double in the seventh inning.  Nice balanced scoring for the team against the Yankees.

Daniel Cabrera tossed seven innings while giving up eight hits and three runs to get the win.  It was a nice quality start for Cabrera as he improved to 7-6 on the year.  Jim Johnson pitched a scoreless inning and then George Sherrill threw the ninth inning.  Sherrill did have his problems as he gave up three runs and had the game tying run at second base.  Luckily Sherrill was finally able to get the final out with the Orioles still leading.

Great win for the Orioles and they will try to get another one on Wednesday.  Orioles Baseball Blog
