Cedric Mullins hit a two-run homer to spark a six-run second inning as the Baltimore Orioles rolled to a 17-5 victory over the host New York Yankees on Thursday afternoon.

Mullins delivered the tiebreaking single Wednesday and followed up his clutch hit by lining a homer into the right field seats for a 3-0 lead off New York rookie right-hander Luis Gil (9-2).
