NEW YORK (Interstat) — Aaron Judge, Giancarlo Stanton and Ryan McMahon hit early home runs and rookie Cam Schlittler struck out a career-high nine over seven dominant innings, powering the New York Yankees to a 6-1 victory over the Baltimore Orioles on Saturday afternoon at Yankee Stadium.

The Yankees (94-68) won their seventh straight game and 10th in their last 11 to maintain at least a share of the American League East lead heading into the final day of the regular season. New York is assured of no worse than a wild-card berth. The Orioles fell to 77-90.

Schlittler (4-3) was the story, baffling Baltimore’s lineup with a masterful performance. The 24-year-old right-hander allowed just two hits and did not walk a batter, throwing 66 of his 99 pitches for strikes. He faced only two batters over the minimum, retiring the final 11 men he faced.

The Yankees’ offense provided ample support, starting with Judge’s solo shot in the first inning. The 53rd home run of the season for the slugger landed in the left-center field seats off Orioles starter Tomoyuki Sugano (11-10).

New York extended its lead in the second. Stanton led off the frame by crushing a solo homer to center field. Two batters later, McMahon followed with another solo blast to center, making it 3-0.

The Yankees broke the game open with a three-run fifth inning, chasing Sugano in the process. McMahon singled and later scored, along with Trent Grisham, on a two-run single by Judge. Cody Bellinger added a sacrifice fly to cap the scoring, giving Judge his third RBI of the afternoon.

Sugano took the loss, surrendering six runs on five hits over 4 1/3 innings. He walked three and struck out three.

Baltimore’s offense was silenced by Schlittler and managed just three hits total. The Orioles avoided the shutout in the eighth inning when Coby Mayo hit a solo home run off Yankees reliever Paul Blackburn.

Following Schlittler’s exit, Blackburn finished the game, allowing one run on one hit over the final two innings while striking out three.

The game was played in a crisp 2 hours, 28 minutes before an announced crowd of 46,085.

The two teams conclude their regular seasons and this three-game series on Sunday afternoon. The Yankees can clinch the AL East title with a win and a loss by Toronto.
