Aaron Judge reacts to Yankees historic night in rout over Orioles

The New York Yankees put their power on display yet again Tuesday night in a historic fashion.

In a 15-3 blowout win over the Baltimore Orioles at Camden Yards, the Yankees got the party started immediately, hitting four home runs in the first inning for the second time this season.

On top of that, it was the second time New York began the game with back-to-back-to-back home runs. This time, they came from Trent Grisham, Aaron Judge and Ben Rice. New York became the only team in MLB history to achieve the feat of beginning a game in that fashion twice in a single season.

Cody Bellinger hit his third of the season from the fifth spot while Rice hit his second homer of the game in the second inning.

"It really starts with Grish,” Judge said after the win. “He set the tone for us early on. When he goes up there and takes a couple tough pitches and sends one to Eutaw Street, it’s pretty impressive and gets you going.”

The Yankees smacked around Orioles starter Kyle Gibson, who gave up 11 hits and was charged with nine earned runs in his season debut.

Catcher Austin Wells hit the Yankees' sixth and final homer of the game in the top of the ninth inning with a solo blast to left field.

Meanwhile, starting pitcher Carlos Rodon was perfect through the first five innings before the Orioles finally scratched some runs across in the sixth inning.

The Yankees captain was certainly impressed with what the southpaw brought to the mound Tuesday night.

“I felt like he worked fastball command,” Judge said. “I think that’s the biggest thing. When he’s working the sinker and his four-seamer well, that just allows him to open up that changeup and slider to both sides of the plate."

At 18-12, the Yankees have won three of their last four and sit atop the AL East. New York is set to wrap up the series with Baltimore on Wednesday night with Carlos Carrasco on the mound.
