Torres' 3 HR Lift Yankees Over Orioles In Doubleheader Sweep

NEW YORK (AP) — Gleyber Day turned into something of a nightmare for the Baltimore Orioles on Wednesday.

Gleyber Torres hit three home runs during a doubleheader sweep, including a solo shot in the nightcap, and Domingo Germán became the majors’ first eight-game winner in the New York Yankees’ 3-1 victory over Baltimore.

Playing a twinbill after rainouts Monday and Tuesday, Torres hit two of New York’s four homers during a 5-3 win in the opener. The 2018 All-Star has eight homers this season, and six have come against the Orioles.

“We got two days in a row off,” Torres said.
