BALTIMORE — The seasons turn, the players around them change and so do the pitchers throwing to them.

But when Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton go deep in the same game, it usually means good things for the Yankees. That was the case again on Saturday night, allowing them to keep their slim division hopes alive.

Stanton swatted the 450th home run of his career while Judge followed up his 49th of the season to add to his MVP case, the two long balls fueling the Yankees to a 6-1 win over the Orioles on Saturday night at Camden Yards.

With the win, the Yankees (87-68) pulled within two games of the Blue Jays (who own the tiebreaker) for first place in the AL East with seven games left in the regular season.

The Yankees will still need some help if they are going to defend their division title, but the Blue Jays’ four-game losing streak has at least made things interesting.

In the meantime, the Yankees bolstered their grip on the top AL wild-card spot, leading the Red Sox by two games and the Astros by three.

Carlos Rodón was mostly dominant across seven innings of one-run ball against the Orioles (73-82) while his teammates played sharp defense behind him, making for one of the Yankees’ best all-around games during their recent 18-8 surge.

The Yankees improved to 50-7 all-time (including playoffs) when Judge and Stanton homer in the same game. Their 57 instances of homering in the same game passed Yogi Berra and Mickey Mantle for the second-most games by a pair of teammates in franchise history, now trailing only Lou Gehrig and Babe Ruth (75), according to the Elias Sports Bureau.

There is still just over a week left before the postseason begins, but if the Yankees can get Stanton and Judge clicking at the same time in October, it would have the potential to be monumental.

Stanton put the Yankees on the board in the top of the first by swatting a three-run shot the other way against Orioles right-hander Tomoyuki Sugano, just high enough to slip over the tall right-field wall for the 3-0 lead.

The two-out, two-strike shot moved Stanton into sole possession of 41st place on the all-time home runs list, breaking a tie with Hall of Famers Vladimir Guerrero and Jeff Bagwell.

The 35-year-old DH/outfielder became the fifth-fastest player (by games played) to reach 450 home runs, doing so in his 1,719th career game.

That trailed only Mark McGwire (1,524), Babe Ruth (1,585), Alex Rodriguez (1,684) and Harmon Killebrew (1,713).

Judge, who had singled and scored on Stanton’s homer, then led off the third inning with a towering blast to left field for his 49th of the year.

The solo shot was estimated at 370 feet by Statcast, though it sailed over the 373-foot marker in left field.

While fellow AL MVP contender Cal Raleigh is on his way to leading the majors in home runs this year (hitting his 57th on Saturday night), Judge kept pace to capture the batting title, now hitting .329 to lead the Athletics’ Jacob Wilson (.318).

With the early lead in hand, Rodón cruised.

Picking up his 17th win of the season, the left-hander scattered just four hits (two of them infield singles) while walking only one and striking out eight.

The only walk came to lead off the seventh inning, and it ruined his shutout, eventually scoring on Coby Mayo’s two-out double that made it 6-1.

The Yankees padded their lead in the fifth inning, when Cody Bellinger walked, stole second base and then came in to score on Jazz Chisholm Jr.’s single.

Then in the sixth, Anthony Volpe lined a single, stole second base and came around to score on Trent Grisham’s bullet single through the right side.

Volpe, who also made a strong backhanded play at shortstop to get a force out at second in the fifth inning, went 2-for-3 with a walk on the night.

He is now 5-for-14 with two walks since getting a cortisone injection in his left shoulder last week.
