Around the AL East, Week 5: The Orioles are back in first place

Another week of the season has gone by, and the Orioles find themselves back atop the division - at least for now.

The Orioles were in first place in the AL East after ten games of the season. They were still in first place after twenty games. Now, thirty games into their season, after a brief interruption, they are once again the team at the top of the AL East standings.
