Coming into tonight, Matt Albers was 0-3 with an 8.38 ERA in 11 appearances this season.
With a couple of roster decisions likely coming up soon for the Orioles, Albers needed a strong performance, and his dominance of the Yankees continued with a perfect inning tonight.
In 10 career games against New York before tonight, Albers was 1-0 with a 1.46 ERA.
He packaged a pair of weak come-backers by Derek Jeter and Mark Teixeira around a strikeout of Nick Swisher in the top of the seventh.
Albers' fastball reached 95 mph, according to the radar gun at Camden Yards.
Instant update: Albers came out for the top of the eighth inning and got Alex Rodriguez to ground out to Miguel Tejada before being replaced by left-hander Alberto Castillo.
