Stanton, Judge Power Yankees Past Orioles

NEW YORK (Interstat) — Giancarlo Stanton hit two home runs and drove in five, and Aaron Judge launched his 52nd homer as the New York Yankees defeated the Baltimore Orioles 8-4 on Friday night at Yankee Stadium.

Stanton’s three-run blast in the first inning and a two-run shot in the third, coupled with Judge’s two-run homer, powered the Yankees’ offense before a crowd of 44,596. The Orioles’ Jordan Westburg hit a three-run homer in the third, but Baltimore managed just one other run on a Tyler O’Neill solo shot.

Will Warren earned the win for New York, while Trevor Rogers took the loss. The Yankees improved to 92-68, while the Orioles fell to 75-85.
