If last night the Yankees appeared sluggish, tonight they played like one would expect the defending World Series champions to play against a team more than ten games under .500 in the first month of the baseball season.
The Yankees scored early, often, and even though CC Sabathia did not pitch as sharply as one may have wished, the Orioles never seemed to be in this game.
A couple of notes:
- Robinson Canó is now hitting .390/.430/.701 on the season. That’s, uh, kinda good.
- Francisco Cervelli could go 2-for his next-50, and still have a higher batting average than Mark Teixeira. Or something like that.
- Jorge Posada got hit in the knee in the early innings, hence why Cervelli came in. Latest update is day-to-day, but we’ll probably know more tomorrow.
