BALTIMORE — Giancarlo Stanton, after going 2 for 25 over the Yankees’ previous six games and not hitting a ball out of the park for two weeks, slugged a two-run homer and went 2 for 4 on Saturday as the Yankees defeated the Baltimore Orioles, 8-5, for their fourth consecutive win.

Stanton had an infield single and drew a walk in addition to hitting his 12th home run, and he now has 31 runs batted in.
