Cody Bellinger hit a pair of solo homers as part of a four-hit showing and drove in four runs, leading the New York Yankees to a 9-4 victory over the visiting Baltimore Orioles on Saturday afternoon.
Bellinger contributed an RBI double in Friday's 7-2 win among two hits. On Saturday, he followed that up with solo homers in the second and fifth innings along with a run-scoring double in the third following an intentional walk to Aaron Judge.
Bellinger had his second multi-homer game this season and 21st of his career.
The outfielder added his fourth hit on an RBI single in the seventh. Bellinger finished with four hits for the ninth time in his career and second time with the Yankees.
Trent Grisham added a two-run homer and reached base three times, while Jose Caballero scored on a passed ball by Baltimore catcher Adley Rutschman in the third. Jazz Chisholm Jr. added an RBI single in the seventh following Bellinger's fourth hit.
The Yankees totaled 11 hits and won for the 12th time in 14 games.
New York's Ryan Weathers (2-2) allowed three runs (one earned) on three hits in five-plus innings. The left-hander struck out five and walked two.
Pete Alonso homered for the second straight game and third time in his past five games, but the Orioles lost for the 11th time in 17 games. Taylor Ward scored on Alonso's double play grounder, and pinch hitter Samuel Basallo hit an RBI double in the sixth.
Baltimore's Kyle Bradish (1-4) allowed five runs on six hits in four innings. The right-hander walked four and struck out four.
Bellinger put the Yankees ahead by lifting Bradish's 2-1 slider into the right-center field seats to start the second. After Grisham's double, Caballero scored on a passed ball during an at-bat to Aaron Judge.
Bellinger put New York up 3-0 with a double to center, and Grisham's two-run drive to right-center on a full-count sinker extended the lead to 5-1. Bellinger pushed the lead to 6-1 by sending a 0-1 slider from Keegan Akin into the right field seats and singled during a three-run seventh.
