The Orioles’ quest for consecutive series wins fell short as they dropped the rubber game against the Yankees 5-3 at Camden Yards on Easter afternoon.
A trio of singles in the top of the first inning got the Yankees out ahead 1-0. It could have been much worse, but Wells worked around trouble by getting Gleyber Torres to ground into an inning-ending double play.
Aaron Judge doubled the advantage in the third inning with a two-out solo homer.
Franchy Cordero continued his revenge tour against the Orioles with a two-run bomb in the fifth inning.
