Moose has good but not spectacular career numbers against the Orioles (10-6, 4.27 in 22 games). He's had one terrible outing (4 IP, 6 ER) and one outstanding outing (7 IP, 0 ER) against the Orioles this season (1-1, 4.91 in 2 starts). Suddenly, Moose has had the best September among all Yankee starting pitchers (3-0, 1.37 ERA in his last 3 starts).
Leicester was shelled on 9/18 in his lone career appearance against the Yanks (4 IP, 6 ER).
Since reclaiming his starting job, Doug Mientkiewicz is hitting .500 (14-28) over his last 10 games. Johnny Damon was a machine in the TB series hitting .667 (10-15).
