BALTIMORE -- This was the type of moment that fueled most of Clint Frazier's winter workouts, an opportunity to prove that his lightning-quick stroke belongs in a big league lineup. So as he felt that clean click of ball meeting bat in the eighth inning on Saturday, the young Yankee permitted himself an extra beat to savor the moment.

"Oh yeah. I enjoyed it," Frazier said, with a grin. "Yeah. This feels really good. It feels really good to have some success, especially after last year. I can't really put into words what that was like, other than very difficult."

Frazier's go-ahead, three-run blast off Miguel Castro proved to be the decisive blow in New York's 6-4 victory over the Orioles at Oriole Park at Camden Yards. He added a solo homer in the second inning in Sunday's 15-3 win to finish the sweep, off Baltimore starter David Hess. And for good measure, Frazier connected in the ninth off Dan Straily for the first multi-homer game of his career.

After missing all but 69 games last season (15 in the Majors) due to the effects of a concussion sustained in the Yankees' second exhibition game, the 24-year-old Frazier said that he is feeling like himself again at the plate. That was not the case in Spring Training, when he batted .143 (7-for-49) in 18 games and was optioned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

"I made a little adjustment that I feel like carried over immediately and helped me focus on hitting the baseball rather than what I was doing mechanically," Frazier said. "Up here, it's a little bit different than the back fields of the Minor Leagues down there; it's not chain-link fences, it's three-story stadiums."

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said that the right-handed-hitting Frazier will continue to play regularly in left field, though the club also wants to provide reps to the left-handed-hitting Mike Tauchman, who has two hits in his first 12 at-bats with the club (.167).

"Frazier is going to play because we really like the ceiling," Boone said. "We think they both bring a lot of value; Tauchman from his speed and the ability to play all three [outfield positions], and a pretty accomplished defensive outfielder as well. We'll continue to mix and match there. Both are going to get their opportunities."

Frazier said that he may have been pressing during Spring Training, when he arrived in camp voicing a desire to make the Opening Day roster. Frazier said that he mentally hit the reset button once he was reassigned to Minor League camp in late March, vowing to take advantage when injuries bumped him back to the big leagues.

"I was probably pressing a little bit, but that's common," Frazier said. "It's hard not to whenever you're not a starter on a team. You get thrown into a situation and you want to capitalize immediately. It's hard to do that if you're trying to win the game every swing."

Spin it, DJ

DJ LeMahieu entered play on Sunday leading the Majors with a .458 batting average (11-for-24) and ranking fifth with a .536 on-base percentage. In short, the 30-year-old veteran has been exactly what the Yankees hoped he could be when they signed him to a two-year, $24 million contract in January.

"He's a pro, man. He's a tough out," Boone said. "He's really competitive, and by and large, he's a guy that gives you a solid at-bat. That defensive flexibility that he gives us, the quality of at-bat, especially when we're banged up right now, it's one of the reasons we got him. We feel like we signed a really good player, and so far that's what we're seeing."

Talking it over

Gary Sánchez was picked off twice in the first two games of the series against the Orioles -- from second base on Thursday and off third base on Saturday -- prompting Boone and the coaching staff to sit with the catcher and review baserunning fundamentals while watching video of the plays.

"We addressed how you get set up so you guard against those things," Boone said. "Without trying to strip guys' aggressiveness away, we kind of walk through the situation all over again and talk through it."

One to go

CC Sabathia is scheduled to start for Class A Advanced Tampa against Lakeland on Sunday, and Boone said that the team's expectation is that the left-hander will then be promoted to the big leagues. Sabathia could begin his 19th and final Major League campaign next weekend against the White Sox, though Boone said the date of his start has not been determined.

Bombers bits

Though Miguel Andújar (right labrum tear) resumed taking ground balls this weekend, he is not throwing or swinging a bat. Boone said that he believes it will be "at least a couple of weeks" before Andujar is a consideration to play in a big league game, even in a best-case scenario.

Giancarlo Stanton (left biceps strain) is continuing to receive treatment, and though Boone said there has been improvement on a daily basis, it is unclear if Stanton will swing a bat before the team returns home this weekend.

This date in Yankees history

April 7, 1994: Don Mattingly notches his 1,000th career RBI in an 18-6 victory over the Rangers, becoming the ninth Yankee to reach the milestone, and the first since Mickey Mantle in '61.
