BALTIMORE — Aaron Judge hit a tying home run in the eighth inning, Starlin Castro’s RBI single keyed a four-run ninth, and the New York Yankees rallied to defeat the Baltimore Orioles 7-3 on Sunday and avert a three-game sweep.

It was the first loss of the season for the Orioles, who started the day as the majors’ only unbeaten team at 4-0. After pulling off comeback victories in the first two games of the series, Baltimore blew a three-run lead in the finale.

RAYS 7, BLUE JAYS 2: Steven Souza Jr. hit a three-run homer and was involved in a scrum after a slide during Tampa Bay’s win at home.

Both benches briefly emptied in the second when Blue Jays shortstop Troy Tulowitzki took issue with Souza’s slide into second base on Logan Morrison’s double-play grounder. No punches were thrown.

ANGELS 10, MARINERS 9: Albert Pujols hit his 592nd career homer and a tying two-run single in the ninth before Cliff Pennington’s drive to the wall capped the Angels’ rally from a six-run deficit at Anaheim, California.

Pennington’s single drove in Mike Trout to end an unlikely comeback by the Angels, who trailed 8-1 in the eighth and 9-3 in the ninth.
