Six Baltimore Orioles relievers kept the visiting New York Yankees mostly in check during a 5-4 victory in the rubber match of a three-game series Wednesday night.

Ryan Mountcastle and Ramon Urias homered for the Orioles while Adley Rutschman and Heston Kjerstad each rapped two hits as Baltimore picked up its third victory in a 10-game stretch. A four-run second inning supplied much of the offense.

Aaron Judge, with three hits and three RBIs, and Paul Goldschmidt had home runs for the Yankees, who managed just two runs after the first inning.

Baltimore starter Cade Povich made it through 4 2/3 innings, giving up three runs on three hits with two walks. Bryan Baker (2-0) was the winner in relief and Felix Bautista worked the ninth for his fifth save of the season.

Yankees starter Carlos Carrasco (2-2) lasted 3 1/3 innings, allowing four runs on eight hits.

Judge hit his 10th homer of the season with a two-run blast to center field in the first inning. It was New York’s fifth first-inning home run in two nights, but the Yankees didn’t generate the type of offense they displayed in Tuesday’s 15-3 rout.

Mountcastle answered with a two-run shot in the second, ending an 0-for-18 skid with his second long ball of the season.

Two batters later, Urias gave the Orioles a 3-2 lead with his second homer. Rutschman’s two-out RBI single stretched the margin to 4-2.

The Yankees closed the gap in the fifth inning on Goldschmidt’s homer before the Orioles restored a two-run edge thanks to Jackson Holliday’s RBI fielder’s choice grounder in the fifth.

The Yankees broke through in the seventh with Judge’s two-out single off Yennier Cano, which resulted in a run charged to Keegan Akin.

The only extra-base hits in the game were the home runs.

Both Baltimore victories in the series came by one run.
