A-Rod homers, O’s beat Yanks, 4-3

Alex Rodriguez homered in his second game back from the disabled list, but the Yankees fell to the Orioles, 4-3, on Labor Day.

Best of All: A.J. Burnett wasn’t awful. But he wasn’t great either: 7 IP, 7 H, 4 ER, 4 BB, 5 K. It’s enough to keep him in the rotation in September, but it’s not helping his chances for making the playoff rotation.

Worst of All: The Yankees only had five hits off the Orioles, none of which off their bullpen. That is a terrible against one of the worst bullpens in the league.

Coming Up: CC Sabathia goes for win No. 20 tomorrow night. His career-high is 19. Speaking of CC, Cliff Corcoran (also CC) believes big CC is the frontrunner for the Cy. You might have to read that again.
