Even though the Orioles dropped the final game of the three game set the still managed to take two out of three from the hated Yankees. Brian Roberts, Adam Jones, and Nick Markakis all combined to give the Orioles a great 1-2-3 punch at the top of the order along with some unexpected contributions coming from Greg Zaun, Cesar Izturis, and the bottom of the batting order. The bullpen so far has been the weak link of the team and it is a trend that I would not count on continuing.The rotation has not been alright with Jeremy Guthrie and Koji Uehara combining for a 3.27 ERA and Alfredo Simon proving he can pitch and throw strikes in his first outing where he gave up 4 runs in 5 innings.
