The Birds go for the sweep in th early day third game because of great starting pitching from Koji Uehara who allowed just 1 run in 5 innings he should have stayed for the sixth i dont know why trembley pulled him. The Birds had a huuge fourth where they put up five and a first where they put up 2 should have been thrree but a stupid base running mistake by Huff took him off the base paths and Mora would single fir nothing. Zaun started the 4th rally with a double that drove scott home and Pie to third. Izturis saced him in then Jones hit a sac fly to get zaun in. Then Markakis would homer deep to right and him and roberts would score oin that long ball. ALbers got out of a jam with a man on third and no outs a line drive snared by Izturis a pop out to huff and then a grounder would end the threat but the Yanks did socre one run that 6th off Albers but he did well not to allow the seocmnd. Then Baez would work scorless seventh and eitgth. Sarfate would get two ealry outs in the ninth but would give up a 2 run shot yto Jeter then a double and he was done. Then Sherill gave up a doublt to Texiera and the scoe would change to 7-5. But Sherill would reocrd the final out next gettin Matsui to pop out and that would be the game with Sherill getting his first svae and uiehara his first MLB win in his first start. Wang allowed seven in 4 2/3 and got fnsihjsd off but that Markakis bomb. O's now 2-0 started very strong and would like to earn a sweep.
