Yankees under pressure in pennant race lingered over AL East
Orioles and Tigers players say the Yankees face new pressure as New York holds a nine and a half game lead in the AL East amid recent losses. Reggie Jackson sparked the Orioles 4-3 win with three hits and his 18th homer as Boston toppled the Yankees 5-4. Teammates say the stretch run could be fun if the champs rebound. Other AL scores: Twins beat A’s in a 12 inning 8-7, Indians beat Brewers 4-3, White Sox edged Angels 2-1, Rangers down Royals 8-4.
