BALTIMORE -- Aaron Judge has always enjoyed hitting at Camden Yards, which he still considers to be one of his favorite backdrops, even though he’d vote for the home team to restore the left-field wall to its original shorter dimensions. That’s unlikely to happen any time soon, so the Yankees slugger has found some new places to visit.

Judge notched the 28th multihomer game of his career and his first of the young season on Sunday afternoon. The reigning American League Most Valuable Player cleared the center-field wall in the third inning, then reached the bullpens in the eighth inning to help power the Yankees’ 5-3 victory over the Orioles.

“I feel like there’s always a good breeze, a good wind blowing out,” Judge said. “I was pretty upset when they moved that wall back, but you’ve got to deal with it and just try to hit it in other parts besides that big wall.”

Franchy Cordero also belted a two-run homer in the fifth, his second of the series, as New York claimed its third consecutive series victory.

“He’s been amazing,” Cordero said of Judge. “On a daily basis, when you get to see how much work he puts in -- defensively, offensively -- it’s a lot of fun to play with him.”

Judge’s first home run came off Baltimore right-hander Tyler Wells, who served up a pair of blasts last July 22 in the Inner Harbor, when Judge was already more than halfway to Roger Maris’ single-season AL record of 61. As the drive soared toward center field, Judge dropped his head, believing he’d only lifted a flyout.

“I thought I popped it up and just missed it,” Judge said. “I was a little upset at myself.”

Instead, the ball traveled a Statcast-projected 416 feet, clearing the wall with real estate to spare. Wells kicked himself for what he said was “probably just a bad sequence to Judge,” adding, “but in the past, he's shown that he does well against me.”

Cordero lifted a 383-foot blast off Wells; more revenge for the 28-year-old, who was released by the O’s on March 27 after a strong spring.

“I felt like I was having a really good camp and had a really good chance of making the team with Baltimore,” said Cordero, who hit .413 (19-for-46) with two homers and nine RBIs in 18 Grapefruit League games. “I can tell you, I’m very happy I’m with the Yankees right now.”

Judge teed off again in the eighth against reliever Logan Gillaspie, launching a 385-foot drive. Judge has 37 career home runs against the Orioles, the most any player has against an opponent since 2017.

“We play them a lot, and they’re in our division,” Judge said. “They’ve got great pitchers that come after you. They really don’t back down from anybody. You like that as a competitor; they’re going to come with their ‘A’ stuff and I’m going to come with my ‘A’ swing and see what happens.”

The contest also represented Judge’s 42nd consecutive regular-season game reaching base, which equals Mark Teixeira (2010) and Luke Voit (‘18) for the club’s third-longest streak in the last 19 seasons.

“He’s the best player going right now,” manager Aaron Boone said. “He’s hungry and focused. He doesn’t take anything for granted.”

Yankees starter Nestor Cortes limited the O’s to two runs on four hits over 5 1/3 innings, exiting with two runners on and one out in the sixth. Anthony Santander greeted Albert Abreu with a two-run double, runs charged to Cortes, who did not permit a run to Baltimore across 18 1/3 innings last season.

“It feels like every time I’m here, I’m able to throw to my spots and I’m able to use the field to my advantage,” Cortes said. “I feel like they hit two or three fly balls to left field that probably could have been homers anywhere else.”

Adley Rutschman hit a late homer off Jimmy Cordero, part of a 4-for-4 showing, before Clay Holmes recorded his third save. Judge noted that he didn’t hit for much power early last year; his fourth homer didn’t come until his 17th game on April 26 -- fittingly, against Baltimore. He certainly isn’t about to argue with a quicker start, and neither will his teammates.

“He might break that 62; who knows?” Cortes said with a broad grin. “Everybody knows he’s the guy, and he’s playing up to it. I think he’s earned what he has right now and what he’s doing. Hopefully he continues to do so.”
