Jasson Dominguez scored the tiebreaking run in the sixth inning before hitting a two-run homer and an RBI double during a seven-run eighth as the New York Yankees pulled away for an 11-3 victory over the visiting Baltimore Orioles on Sunday afternoon.

The Yankees won for the 13th time in 15 games and beat the Orioles for the 11th time in the past 12 meetings.

Aaron Judge hit a two-run homer off Baltimore rookie Trey Gibson. Ben Rice hit his 12th home run of the season in the first and doubled ahead of Judge's 13th homer in the third.

Rice exited after the Yankees batted in the third because of a bruised left hand. The Yankees announced X-rays were negative and the first baseman is day-to-day. Rice appeared to get injured fielding a low pickoff throw from Max Fried and was replaced by Paul Goldschmidt.

Dominguez started the tiebreaking rally with a double to left field against Grant Wolfram (1-1) and advanced to third on a groundout by Austin Wells. Ryan McMahon, facing a drawn-in infield, followed with a single that first baseman Coby Mayo couldn't handle after diving to stop it.

Dominguez started New York's big inning with a two-run drive into the right field seats off Andrew Kittredge for a 6-3 lead. After an RBI sacrifice fly by Trent Grisham, Goldschmidt ripped a two-run single after the Yankees executed a double steal.

Following a sacrifice fly by Jazz Chisholm Jr., Dominguez added a double to left field for an 11-3 lead.

The Orioles tied it twice before losing their fourth straight and for the 12th time in 18 games.

Blaze Alexander had an RBI single in the third before getting thrown out trying to stretch the hit into a double. After Judge's 413-foot drive bounced into Baltimore's bullpen in left field, Leody Taveras hit an RBI infield single and Tyler O'Neill scored on a double play grounder by Jeremiah Jackson in the fourth.

Fried allowed three runs on six hits in 5 1/3 innings. The left-hander struck out six and walked three.

Fernando Cruz (3-0) got the final two outs of the sixth and the first out of the seventh. Brent Headrick ended the eighth by getting a double play grounder against Mayo.

Gibson allowed three runs on four hits in 4 2/3 innings during his major league debut.

The four-game series concludes Monday.
