bounce back from a loss on Monday against the Baltimore Orioles with
a come from behind win on Tuesday night. The win moves the Yankees to

Miguel Gonzalez got the start for the
Orioles in Game 2 of the four-game series, and although despite
pitching much better than his previous start against the Yankees he
didn’t factor in the decision of this game. Alex Rodriguez got to

a RBI double that scored Chris Stewart. In the sixth inning the
Yankees would show off their power, as Alfonso Soriano hit a

batters later with a solo-home run of his own, which was his 18th
of the year. Gonzalez finished going six innings allowing three runs
on six hits, while striking out six batters, and leaving the game in
position to earn the win.
