The Baltimore Orioles' struggles at home continued on Wednesday night, as the New York Yankees took the opener of their three-game series, 6-2. The Orioles have now lost five straight games at Oriole Park at Camden Yards, and have dropped nine of their last 11 overall.

Aaron Judge led the way for the Yankees, hitting his 33rd home run of the season in the fifth inning. It was Judge's first RBI since last Tuesday, and helped the Yankees take a 3-1 lead.

The Orioles got on the board in the first inning on an RBI single by Ryan Mountcastle, but the Yankees answered back with two runs in the second inning on a home run by Anthony Rizzo.

The Orioles added another run in the fourth inning on a sacrifice fly by Ramon Urias, but the Yankees put the game away with three runs in the eighth inning off of Orioles reliever Dillon Tate.

The Orioles will look to avoid a sweep of the series when they host the Yankees in the second game of the series on Thursday night.
