The Yankees behind seven innings (including seven strikeouts) of one-run ball by the ever-enigmatic . Granted, Vazquez took care of business against the team with the second-lowest wOBA in the American League, but a quality start’s still a quality start.

The Yankees only scored one earned run, on a solo shot. The other two runs came on a big throwing error by Miguel Tejada on an grounder that allowed both and to score. The Orioles’ lone run came on a — yes, you read that correctly — solo home run, which tied the game at the time. I’d be piling it on Vazquez for giving a home run up to one of the biggest scrubs in all of Major League Baseball had Baltimore come back, but thankfully the Yankees pulled out the victory.

pitched a 1-2-3 eighth inning, and pitched a scoreless ninth for his 11th save.

In scary news, fouled a ball off his foot in the first inning, but thankfully x-rays were negative and Tex is currently listed as day-to-day.
