Six up, six down, and Sabathia is doing what he's expected to do. Things can chance for a pitcher in a hurry, of course, and Yankees defensive shortcomings will always put pressure on their hurlers.

UPDATE: 2-1 Orioles at the end of three. Please disregard the words above. They were written in a moment of irrational exuberance.
