A-Rod didn't homer. Neither did Derek Jeter. Or Johnny Damon or Mark Teixeria. Still the New York Yankees hit five homers in Tuesday's 9-6 win over the Orioles in front of 25,782 at Camden Yards. The game had ties and lead changes like a basketball game. Luke Scott's 412-foot, three-run homer gave the Orioles a 6-5 lead in the 5th. It was the 52nd homer in O's Park history to reach Eutaw Street. Amber Theoharis interviews Luke Scott about the Birds' 9-6 loss But after Alex...

Not long before Nolan Reimold hit his seventh homer with the Birds Tuesday night, we noticed the sky above Oriole Park's stadium walls was a brilliant orange. "A good sign?" one of our multimedia producers asked. "Must mean the O's are going to win." As our jokes about the "good omen" faded into the sounds of the crowd five stories below our windows, BAM, Reimold hits another HR. Despite Mora's would-have-been-two-run-shot that was taken away by a fan interference call, it's good...

He wants to play again this year, but O's center fielder Adam Jones is trying to come to grips with the concept that he may not. Jones suffered a badly sprained left ankle last night vs. the Yankees. It will keep him out at least two to three weeks and his season may well be over with so little time left. "It's a tough injury, but I see myself playing again, it's just a matter of when. But this sucks, it just sucks. It's something you can't control. "It's frustrating, I haven't...
