The Baltimore Orioles havent clinched a division title on home turf since 1969. That may change over the next week. Baltimore tries to move one step closer to an American League East title on Sunday when they close out a four-game series with the New York Yankees at Camden Yards. You can watch this game live on TSN2 at 8pm et/5pm pt. Baltimores magic number, though, remained at five on Saturday, as Brian McCann homered to kick off a three-run second inning which proved to be enough in New Yorks 3-2 victory. "The stretch weve had the last three games, we havent really swung the bat well," McCann said. "It was nice to get on the board. We just needed a win. At this point in the season, every win is a big win." Antoan Richardson also drove in a run during the decisive frame for the Yankees, while Shane Greene (5-3) allowed seven hits and two runs while fanning nine over 5 1/3 effective innings. David Robertson claimed his 36th save with a scoreless ninth as New York shook off back-to-back losses in Fridays doubleheader. "This was a nice bounce back win," noted Yanks manager Joe Girardi. Steve Pearce homered and Nelson Cruz added an RBI for the Orioles, who remain firmly in control of the AL East, 10 1/2 games in front of the Toronto Blue Jays. The Orioles will play the next six games at Camden Yards after Sunday. Miguel Gonzalez (9-8) was charged with three runs on as many hits while walking three over six full frames. Baltimore stands a good chance at getting back into the win column on Sunday with righty Chris Tillman on the hill, as the Orioles have won the last nine times he has taken the hill. Tillman hasnt lost since July 12 and beat the Boston Red Sox on Tuesday, as he allowed a run and six hits in five innings to run his record to 12-5 on the year to go along with a 3.36 ERA. He also continued his streak of 18 consecutive starts in which hes allowed three earned runs or fewer, while winning his fifth consecutive start. "It was tough for me," said Tillman. "From the get-go, my fastball command wasnt sharp, but my other pitches were. I think if Im able to throw strike one a few more times, Im a little better off. I struggled in the strike one category. I felt like I was digging myself out of holes all night, but we were able to make some pitches when we needed to and thats always a plus." Tillman has faced the Yankees 13 times and is 5-5 with a 5.32 ERA. New York, meanwhile, will counter with Japanese left-hander Hiroki Kuroda, who was awful his last time out. Kuroda couldnt get out of the fourth inning on Tuesday against Tampa Bay, as he allowed four runs and nine hits in just 3 1/3 frames to fall to 10-9, while his ERA swelled to 3.91. "I had a great start in the first inning, but I feel like they changed their approach in the second inning on, and I wasnt able to re-adjust instantly," Kuroda said through an interpreter. Kuroda is 3-3 with a a 3.07 ERA in nine starts versus the Os. Baltimore is 10-4 versus the Yankees this season.

Ryan Arcidiacono added 10 points as five players had between five and eight for the Wildcats (18-2, 5-2 Big East), who shook off a rare 20-point loss against Georgetown on Monday. James Milliken scored 13 points to pace Creighton (9-12, 0-8), which remained winless in league play and has matched a program record with nine straight losses. Ive got good kids on my team and weve got a good culture in our locker room, said Creighton coach Greg McDermott. I think thats allowed us to stay relatively together through some challenging times. Villanova locked down over the first 20 minutes and just about put the game out of reach by halftime. Creighton had nearly as many turnovers (12) as points (14) at the break, and would have had more if it wasnt for Avery Dingmans 3 just before the buuzzer.dddddddddddd No Bluejay had more than one field goal or three points at halftime. Tonight was a really good defensive effort for us, said Villanova coach Jay Wright. I think Georgetown exposed (us) so that is what we really focused on this week. The Wildcats scored the games first 15 points. Creighton countered with the next six, then went cold again. Hilliard hit a pair of 3s during a 10-0 run late in the half that made it 29-11 before Dingmans trey cut the deficit to 15 at intermission. Creighton was within 11 points following Millikens three-point play early in the second half. Villanova scored nine of the next 11 points, however, and the lead was back to 18. Game Notes Hilliard was shooting 7-for-25 over his last three games. He hit 9-of-15, including 6-of-10 from distance, in this one ... Villanova has won 29 of 30 home games against unranked opponents ... Creightons only previous nine-game losing streak came in 1995.
