5 in a row; Division lead

Enter Sandman. Mo Rivera seals the game for the Yankees, who have won five in a row and took the American League East outright with a Red Sox loss tonight (4-2 to the Texas Rangers).

The young pitcher who was called up to start for New York tonight didn't look so sharp, but that's what the rest of the team (and super-efficient Alfredo Aceves: 12 pitches, 4 outs) is for. New York won 6-4.

Meanwhile, the O's sink to 41-52, giving them a firm hold on the cellar spot they fill so well. I'm tempted to say Baltimore would be better if it didn't play in such a tight division, but the botched double play and a dropped fly a couple innings ago took that argument from my fingers.
