NEW YORK -- One of the biggest indications of how inconsistent the New York Yankees have been is their inability get more than one game over .500.Since May 22, the Yankees have gone one game over .500 on two occasions only to slide back into wandering around and below the break-even mark.The Yankees will get their next chance at going two games over .500 Wednesday night when they continue a four-game series with the Baltimore Orioles.The Yankees (47-46) have won seven of their last 11 games and are 3-2 on a crucial homestand that many believe will determine their plans at the Aug. 1 non-waiver trade deadline.After getting to .500 with Mondays 2-1 win, New York went one game over for the first time since June 24 with Tuesdays 7-1 win. Starlin Castro homered for the first time in 22 games and drove in four runs while Nathan Eovaldi allowed one run in 5 1/3 innings and Anthony Swarzak highlighted 2 2/3 perfect innings by getting out of a bases-loaded jam in the sixth.The performances by Castro and Swarzak helped ensure New Yorks late-inning trio of hard-throwers Dellin Betances, Andrew Miller and Aroldis Chapman will be available for the final two games of the series.Since starting to hover around .500 in mid-May, the Yankees went one game at 31-30 following a 4-0 win over Detroit on June 10. New York then dropped four straight and did not get over .500 again until a 2-1 win over Minnesota left them at 37-36 on June 24.New York then lost seven of its next 11 before closing the All-Star break with three wins in Cleveland.Its been frustrating this year because weve been here so many times and we havent been able to break through for a number of different reasons, Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. Sometimes its been offense, sometimes its been pitching. It hasnt just been one reason but its been frustrating because I feel like if we can get over that mark, we can build on it.The last three wins have shaved Baltimores lead over the fourth-place Yankees to 6 1/2 games. It is the first time the Yankees trail by less than seven games since June 24.Baltimore has lost three straight for the second time this month. The Orioles also lost their first four games of July as part of a five-game losing streak.The Orioles offense is batting .268. During their first five games, the Orioles are batting .193 (31-for-161).We dont say, well this is just que sera, something that comes about, Orioles manager Buck Showalter said. You cant live in that world. Were better than that. I know our guys are frustrated but you also got to tip your hat to their pitching.Since the break, Adam Jones is 3-for-20, Manny Machado is 2-for-17 and Mark Trumbo is 4-for-19. The Orioles have played the last two games without first baseman Chris Davis (stomach virus) and also played Tuesday without Matt Wieters (sore right foot).Both might play Wednesday but losing while shorthanded is not an excuse for the Orioles.Weve been without people all year just like the Yankees have and just like everybody has, Showalter said. Its part of the gig. You dont stomach it and find an excuse. We dont live in those worlds.After getting effective outings from Masahiro Tanaka, Ivan Nova and Nathan Eovaldi, the Yankees will send Michael Pineda (3-9, 5.56) to the mound. The Yankees will hope Pineda has better fastball command this time around after allowing three home runs in 5 2/3 innings to the Boston Red Sox in Fridays 5-3 loss.Theyve all done a good job and it needs to start over with Michael tomorrow, Girardi said. Thats how you put long streaks together.Pineda is winless in his last six starts and Fridays loss dropped him to 0-3 with a 4.46 ERA in those outings.The right-hander has defined inconsistency by allowing two earned runs or less in eight starts and five runs or more in seven other outings.Pineda has not faced the Orioles this season and is 3-2 with a 4.10 ERA in nine outings against Baltimore. In New York, he is 2-0 with a 1.98 ERA in four matchups against the Orioles, including a career-high 16 strikeout game May 10, 2015.Yovani Gallardo will get the start for Baltimore and will make his seventh start since returning from missing two months due to a right shoulder injury. Since returning June 18, Gallardo is 2-0 with a 6.04 ERA and, in those starts, the Orioles have averaged 5.6 runs per game.Gallardo is 1-1 with a 5.60 ERA in three starts against the Yankees. He last played New York at Yankee Stadium May 24, 2015 for the Texas Rangers when he allowed two runs and four hits over six innings during a 5-2 win. USA Soccer Shirts .
