Austin Wells hit a three-run home run and Juan Soto and Aaron Judge drilled back-to-back homers as the New York Yankees pulled even with the host Baltimore Orioles atop the American League East by winning 6-1 on Saturday.

Judge has 34 home runs, the most for a Yankee prior to the All-Star break. Judge had 33 in 2022 and Roger Maris had 33 in 1961 before the break.
