<p>BALTIMORE &mdash; 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.</p>
<p>After hitting two home runs Friday, Judge provided New York a 5-0 lead with a two-run shot in the second. Six of Judge’s 11 homers this season have come against Baltimore.</p>

<p>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. </p>
<p>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). </p>
<p>Judge increased the margin with the two-run homer in the second. He has hit 23 home runs in 59 career games against Baltimore. </p>
<p>The Orioles, who have lost four straight, loaded the bases with one out in the third but Austin Hays grounded into a double play that was upheld after a one-minute and 20-second review.</p>
<p>Orioles reliever Tyler Wells balked in the Yankees’ sixth run before throwing his first pitch in the sixth. Luke Voit followed with a two-run single that provided an 8-0 lead. </p>

<p>TRAINER’S ROOM</p>
<p>Yankees: DH Giancarlo Stanton (left quad tightness) was held out of the lineup for a second consecutive game. “This is something that is going to be a day-to-day situation,” manager Aaron Boone said. … SS Gleyber Torres won’t be able to come off the COVID-19 list earlier than the mandated 10 days. “He’s positive and quarantining and in Tampa still,” Boone said. … LHP Zack Britton, who underwent elbow surgery in March, threw a simulated game Saturday. “He was really encouraged,” Boone said. Britton is on track to begin his minor league rehab assignment with Double-A Somerset on Wednesday. </p>
<p>Orioles: RHP Dylan Tate (left hamstring) is feeling better after being placed on the 10-day IL on May 9 and is throwing off the mound, manager Brandon Hyde said.</p>
<p>UP NEXT</p>
<p>Yankees: LHP Jordan Montgomery (2-1, 3.96 ERA) will make his third start against the Orioles this season, allowing two runs over 11 innings (1.64 ERA).</p>
<p>Orioles: Johns Means was scheduled to start, but was pushed back to Wednesday against the Rays to give him seven days of rest. Baltimore did not name a replacement prior to the game. “It’ll be a starter or a bullpen game,” Hyde said. “We’re not sure which one we’re going to go with yet.”</p>
