Really, this series should of been a sweep if it hadn't been for Matusz (in game 1) but winning two out of the three isn't that bad either.
Game 1 LOST 3-5
Game 2 WON 6-1
Game 3 WON 8-0
There were two controversial calls in this game. There was one where Gardner slid into third but didn't touch the plate in time before Machado touched him. There was also another one again at third (what a coincidence) where Cruz (at least I think) hit a grounder to third which sent Pearce running to third base and third baseman, Kelly Johnson was in his way. Stupidly, the ball Johnson tried to throw to first did not make it there but over the head of Teixeira into the crowd behind first base. You better work on the aim even I could throw that better... and who's the one getting paid?
How strange... calls at yankee stadium actually went the Orioles way. I guess there's a first for everything.
Teixiera left because apparently he couldn't handle the pain of being knocked in the toes. Well I will give him credit that sometimes hurts. Unfortunately x-ray results were negative so he won't be put on the disabled list.
