Around the AL East, Week 6: The Orioles are tied for the lead

Despite a week in which the Orioles went 5-1, they lost sole possession of first in the division - but they're still tied with the Red Sox, and ahead if you count percentage points.

Another week of baseball has come and gone and the Orioles still hold on to a share of the AL East lead. If you want to get technical, they actually lead the Red Sox by seven percentage points, but since they're both ten games over .500, they are placed as being tied with one another.

This is kind of a frustrating outcome in that the Orioles are 8-2 over their last ten games and yet still the best they can manage is a tie for the lead.
