New York Yankees top Baltimore Orioles, 4-1, in 15 innings

The sight of New York Yankees closer Mariano Rivera jogging in from the bullpen has rarely — if ever — been viewed as a positive for the opposition, but when the bottom of the ninth inning dawned at Camden Yards on Wednesday night, the Baltimore Orioles couldn’t have been happier to see the all-but-certain Hall of Famer on the mound.

New York Yankees lose sixth straight after Tampa Bay Rays tag A.J. Burnett for five-run sixth inning

Add A.J. Burnett to the Yankees' long list of problems.

Instead, he suffered a 2010-like meltdown.
