Matsui keeps Sabathia rolling past O’s

These days, feel free to pick a flattering statistic out of a hat. The Yankees hold a .681 winning percentage since the All-Star break, easily the best mark in the bigs. They have scored more than a dozen runs four times this season, winning those games by a combined margin of 61-20. Their starting pitcher for Sunday’s game, CC Sabathia, leads the American League with 17 wins.

Yet perhaps most impressive — or at least up there with all that other black ink — is this: the Yankees have not been swept at home all season, and they have not lost three straight games at their new stadium since the first week of May.

In danger of snapping both streaks on Sunday, New York responded with eight innings of stout baseball and an almost-absurd eighth inning to reinforce its standing. The result was another win for Sabathia, a banner day for Hideki Matsui and a 13-3 blowout of the Baltimore Orioles.
