Aaron Judge saves the Yankee with a big ninth-inning homer at Baltimore

BALTIMORE � Not long after Luke Voit's first career grand slam, the Yankees' usual early party at Camden Yards started fizzling.

J.A. Happ gave up a pair of two-run homers, exiting his first 2020 start after four innings.

Gary Sanchez remained hitless for the new season and key scoring chances against the Orioles' no-name bullpen came and went.

After Pedro Severino's two-run homer off Jonathan Loaisiga put the Orioles ahead by a run in the eighth, Aaron Judge answered back in the ninth.

Judge's monstrous one-out, three-run homer carried the Yankees to an 8-6 win, their 18th straight against the Orioles and 17th consecutive victory at the Inner Harbor ballpark.

That ninth-inning comeback came about an hour after the Yankees received good news on Gleyber Torres.

Drilled in the right elbow and replaced by Tyler Wade at shortstop, Torres' X-rays came back negative and he was diagnosed with a contusion.
