Frazier homers twice as Yankees pound Orioles

Clint Frazier homered twice and drove in five runs while Gary Sanchez hit a three-run homer for the second straight night as the visiting New York Yankees defeated the Baltimore Orioles 11-4 on Tuesday night.

Frazier hit a two-run homer and a three-run shot. Sanchez belted his three-run homer in the first -- after hitting a tie-breaking three-run homer in the ninth inning that gave New York a 10-7 victory on Monday night.

Sanchez's homer in this game gave the Yankees a lead they never lost and helped them to a 12th victory in 15 games.

Meanwhile, the Orioles have allowed 100 home runs in just 48 games to set a dubious record. The 2000 Kansas City Royals (57 games) were the previous fastest team to serve up 100.

Sanchez has eight homers against the Orioles this season, just like teammate Gleyber Torres, and finished with four RBI. Frazier and Sanchez combined to drive in nine of the Yankees' runs.

As a team, New York has hit 29 homers in 10 games versus Baltimore this season.

Domingo German (9-1) won his sixth consecutive decision and became the first nine-game winner in the majors. He gave up a three-run homer to Stevie Wilkerson but not much else. Overall, the right-hander allowed three runs (two earned) on five hits in five innings. He also struck out five with just one walk.

David Hale gave up one run over the final four innings and earned his first save.

For the Orioles, David Hess (1-6) once more had problems with the home run. The right-hander surrendered three homers and nine runs on eight hits in five innings and lost his sixth straight decision.

He has given up 17 homers in 45 1/3 innings this season.

Sanchez started everything with his three-run homer in the first. After the Yankees scored a run in the third, Frazier belted a two-run shot for a 6-0 lead in the same inning.

In the fifth, Frazier came through again, this time hitting a three-run homer that gave the Yankees a 9-0 lead. Wilkerson hit his three-run homer in the bottom of that inning.

New York added two more in the sixth thanks to a Sanchez force-out and a Torres RBI single.

Baltimore then made it 11-4 when Hanser Alberto contributed an RBI groundout in the sixth.
