BALTIMORE — Juan Soto and Aaron Judge hit back-to-back home runs in the fifth inning — both over 425 feet — and the New York Yankees routed Baltimore 6-1 to become the first AL East team since April 2023 to win a series against the Orioles. Baltimore had been 16-0-6 in its last 22 series within the division. But New York has taken the first two games of this one at Camden Yards. The Orioles still hold the division lead by percentage points, but the winner of Sunday's series finale will have first place heading into the All-Star break.
