Nice comeback: O's spot Yankees five-run lead, then rally to win

For the second night in a row, the Orioles posted an impressive win in New York. Last night, they held on late to win. Tonight, they came back early on to win. After falling behind 5-0 after the bottom of the first, the Orioles erupted for seven runs in the top of the second to quickly regain the lead on their way to a 11-5 win over the Yankees. In that big inning, all seven runs scored with two outs. Mark Reynolds produced an RBI double, Omar Quintanilla added a two-run single, and then Chris Davis gave the O's the lead with his first career grand slam. Wilson Betemit added RBIs in the third and fifth. The Orioles won their third game in a row and improved to 9-5 over the last 14 games, 30-23 on the road and 55-49 overall as they moved to within 5 1/2 games of the first-place Yankees. Some other notes on this win: * After going 5-13 vs. New York last year, the Orioles are 5-5 this season.
