Judge homers again as Yankees roll over the Orioles

-

BALTIMORE >> Aaron Judge homered for the third time in two games, Domingo Germán had another stellar outing at Camden Yards and the New York Yankees beat the Baltimore Orioles 8-2 on Saturday night.

After hitting two home runs Friday, Judge provided New York a 5-0 lead with a tworun shot in the second. Six of Judge’s 11 homers this season have come against Baltimore.

Germán (3-2) allowed one run and four hits with six strikeouts and two walks over six innings. He has won all four of his career starts in Baltimore.

Tyler Wade had three hits while batting ninth for New York, which improved to 4-1 on its 10-game road trip and has won 11 of its last 14 games overall.

The Yankees took a 3-0 lead in the first on a passed ball by catcher Chance Sisco and a two-run single by Gary Sánchez off Jorge López (1-4).

Judge increased the margin with the tworun homer in the second. He has hit 23 home runs in 59 career games against Baltimore. TIGERS 9, CUBS 8 >> Harold Castro hit an RBI single in the 10th inning off Craig Kimbrel to lift Detroit past Chicago.

Detroit rallied from deficits of 2-0, 4-3, 7-6 and 8-7 to win a back-and-forth game in which neither starting pitcher made it past the third. The final comeback by the Tigers came when they scored twice off Kimbrel (0-2). BRAVES 6, BREWERS 1 >> Ian Anderson took a no-hit try into the seventh inning, Freddie Freeman hit a two-run homer and Atlanta beat Milwaukee.

Anderson (3-1) cruised through the first six innings, mixing a 96 mph fastball, an effective changeup and an even slower curveball that kept the Brewers guessing.

The 23-year-old right-hander walked four and struck out four before the Brewers ended Anderson’s bid in the seventh. Daniel Vogelbach blooped a leadoff single to center and Pablo Reyes followed with a double that chased Anderson. ROYALS 5, WHITE SOX 1>> Salvador Perez hit a three-run homer for the second straight day and Kansas City handed Carlos Rodón his first loss of the season with a victory over Chicago. RED SOX 9, ANGELS 0>> Alex Verdugo hit a solo homer in his first at-bat on his 25th birthday, Xander Bogaerts had a three-run shot and Boston beat Los Angeles. ASTROS 6, RANGERS 5 >> Carlos Correa and Kyle Tucker each homered to help Luis Garcia earn his first career win as Houston held on to beat Texas for its fifth straight victory.

Correa capped a four-run first with a tworun homer to right as the Astros got to Texas starter Dane Dunning (2-3).

Alex Bregman also had a two-run single in the inning. TWINS 5, ATHLETICS 4 >> Miguel Sanó snapped a 19-game homerless drought with a threerun homer in the eighth inning and Minnesota came back to beat Oakland. RAYS 12, METS 5 >> Joey Wendle had three doubles and a single, keying two big innings that sent Tampa Bay past New York.

Francisco Lindor, Pete Alonso and Jose Peraza each homered for the Mets. They have lost two in a row at Tropicana Field after a seven-game winning streak. PIRATES 8, GIANTS 6 >> Jacob Stallings hit a two-out, two-run homer in the ninth inning and Pittsburgh rallied past San Francisco.

Stallings had a two-out, two-run double that capped four-run comeback in the seventh that made it 6-all.
