Yankees have failed to break away — along with Orioles — and now need strong finish

That is a source of both consolation and consternation.
Since holding the majors’ best record on June 14 at 50-22, the Yankees have gone 30-38. But during that span, the Orioles have only gone 36-36, meaning the Yankees have only lost four games in the AL East standings — going from 3 ½ games up to a half-game behind.
So while the Yankees remain right in the thick of things, they have also missed a golden chance to separate themselves, now needing to put together a strong run over their final 22 games to have any hope of winning the division.
