NEW YORK -- Aaron Judge came within a triple of the cycle and reached base four times as the New York Yankees rolled to a 16-3 victory over the Baltimore Orioles on Saturday night.

Judge matched a career high by getting his third three-hit game of his brief career. He hit his major league-leading 19th homer in a six-run first, walked in the second, singled in the fourth and hit a two-run double in the fifth.

Judge's home run off Chris Tillman was one of five for the Yankees, who increased their season total to 98.

Didi Gregorius and Gary Sanchez slugged two-run homers while Starlin Castro and Matt Holliday hit three-run homers as the Yankees set season highs for runs and hits (18) and matched a season best for homers in a game.

Sanchez added a two-run double and Chris Carter chipped in an RBI single as the Yankees won their fourth straight and scored double-digit runs for the 10th time -- fourth against the Orioles.

Every starter had at least hit and six starters recorded multi-hit games for the Yankees, who have scored 41 runs in their last four games.

The offense almost became somewhat of an afterthought as Luis Severino (5-2) retired the first 12 hitters and pitched 4 1/3 hitless innings. He lost his perfect game bid by walking Mark Trumbo to start the fifth and lost the no-hit bid by allowing a single to Trey Mancini two batters later.

Chris Davis and Joey Rickard homered for the Orioles, who lost for the 13th time in 19 games. Pinch hitter Caleb Joseph added a ninth-inning RBI single which ended an 0-for-45 stretch for opponents with runners in scoring position against New York.

Severino allowed one run and two hits in seven innings. He struck out eight and won his third straight decision.

Tillman was tagged for a career-high nine runs and seven hits in 1 1/3 innings.

The Yankees matched their biggest inning of the season by scoring six times with two outs in the first off Tillman.

Judge started by sending a 1-0 breaking ball down the line and into the left field seats. Following a single by Holliday and a double by Castro, Sanchez made it 3-0 with a single to left field, and Gregorius extended the lead to 5-0 by hitting a first-pitch fastball into the right field seats.

Following a walk to Chase Headley and a wild pitch, Carter capped the scoring with a single to left.

The Yankees saw 11 straight pitches out of the strike zone in the second before adding to their lead. After walks to Judge and Holliday, Castro made it 9-0 by driving a 3-0 fastball into the left-center field bleachers.

New York made it 12-0 before an out was recorded in the fourth. After Aaron Hicks walked and Judge singled, Holliday hit a 1-0 pitch from Stefan Crichton into the right field seats.

The Yankees extended the lead to 14-0 with one out in the fifth when Judge lined a double to left field off Edwin Jackson.
