BALTIMORE, April 28 (UPI) -- Nick Swisher had three of New York's 15 hits Wednesday and tripled home two runs, helping power the Yankees past Baltimore 8-3.
CC Sabathia (3-1) gave up 11 hits over 7 2/3 innings, but allowed only three runs and improved his career record against Baltimore to 10-1.
New York built a 6-0 lead thanks in part to Swisher's triple during a three-run second and a solo homer from Robinson Cano in the third.
Derek Jeter posted his 442nd double, moving him into a tie for third with Don Mattingly on the franchise's all-time list.
Jeremy Guthrie (0-3) was roughed up for six hits and seven runs in 4 2/3. Baltimore was coming off its first two-game winning streak of the season.
New York has led after six innings 11 times this season and the Yankees have won all of those games.
