The Yankees understand their recent dominance over the Orioles can’t last forever, yet there were no slumped shoulders in the dugout as they prepared for a final turn at bat on Thursday. It wasn’t too late to “All Rise,” and Aaron Judge ensured that their good times could carry on for a while longer.

Judge launched a titanic three-run homer in the ninth inning, powering New York’s 8-6 victory over the Orioles. With the home opener on deck, the blast sent the Yanks to their buses celebrating an 18th consecutive victory over Baltimore, and their 17th straight win at Camden Yards.
