Rizzo’s 3 HRs lift Yanks over O’s 12-8

After 9 ½ seasons at Wrigley Field, Anthony Rizzo is finding his new confines plenty friendly.

“I think he likes Yankee Stadium,” New York manager Aaron Boone said. “After tonight, I think it sealed it.”

Rizzo lofted a trio of homers into Yankee Stadium’s short right-field porch, Aaron Judge connected on his birthday and Joey Gallo ended the longest home-run drought of his career as New York outslugged the Baltimore Orioles 12-8 Tuesday night.

Gleyber Torres tacked on a bases-loaded triple in the seventh, and the previously slumping Yankees followed Sunday’s 10-run outburst against Cleveland with another barrage, helping them win for the sixth time in seven games.
