Bombers blast O's

Bobby Abreu is having a good week today. The Yankees' outfielder is 3-3 with four runs scored and two home runs. He's knocked in four RBI as the Yankees pour it on Baltimore, leading 13-2 in the seventh. Alex Rodriguez also homered, hitting his 23rd.

Joba Chamberlain worked six innings, striking out six, and is in line for his fourth win.

Fantasy Impact: Abreu is on pace to hit more homers this year than last (13 now vs. 16 in 2007) but steal fewer bases (13 now vs. 25 in '07) and score fewer runs (63 now vs. 123 in '07). He's a nice all-around outfielder. Chamberlain is emerging as a staff ace, and could become more of one as he gets stretched out as a starter.
