Chris Tillman got in a little trouble in the second inning, surrendering a leadoff single to Robinson Cano and walking Jorge Posada, but he retired the next three batters to keep the game scoreless.
Tillman has thrown 34 pitches.
The Orioles wasted a scoring opportunity in the first inning - stop me if you've heard this one - after Julio Lugo walked with the count full.
After Miguel Tejada struck out, Lugo broke too soon on a stolen base attempt and was an easy out. Naturally, Nick Markakis followed with a ground-rule double to center field.
Ty Wigginton struck out to end the inning.
Game update: I wrote earlier today that Garrett Atkins was 7-for-13 lifetime against CC Sabathia. He produced an RBI single in the second inning. Orioles 1, Yankees 0.

They took four left-handed pitchers and 19 right-handers, seven catchers, one first baseman, one second baseman, three third basemen, seven shortstops and seven outfielders.
