BALTIMORE — With two months of a six-month season complete, the Yankees improved to 36-17 after Friday night’s 4-1 win over the Orioles. The victory moved them to one-half game back of the AL East-leading Red Sox.
First-year manager Aaron Boone, however, was looking to tighten up some areas before the Yankees picked up their fifth win in seven games.
“All in all, I’m pleased with what we’re doing. There’s so many things at the margins we can continue to improve on and get better at,’’ Boone said. “ If we’re going to be an elite club, those are things we always have to be hungry to continue to try to get better at.
