Yankees hit Luis Ortiz hard in pounding Pirates behind Aaron Judge's 3-run homer

The first time Luis Ortiz faced the New York Yankees, the Pittsburgh Pirates right-hander held them to two runs on three hits while striking out five over five innings in only his second major-league start.

His Grapefruit League game didn’t go as well.

The Yankees tagged Ortiz for five runs on seven hits, using a six-run second inning to pound the Pirates, 9-2, on Monday night at George M. Steinbrenner Field in Tampa.

Yankees starter Domingo German held the Pirates to one hit and one walk, striking out four in three scoreless innings. The Yankees finished with 15 hits to the Pirates’ four.

Jose Trevino got the scoring started with an RBI single for a 1-0 lead, and DJ LeMahieu followed with a two-run single to center for a 3-0 lead. Colin Selby inherited two runners from Ortiz and surrendered a 347-foot, three-run home run to Aaron Judge to make it 6-0.

In the third, Hicks doubled off Johan Oviedo, advanced to third on a Willie Calhoun single and scored for a 7-0 lead when Trevino grounded into a double play. Oviedo gave up two hits and four walks while striking out three in 2 1/3 innings.

The Yankees made it 9-0 when prospect Jasson Dominguez grounded into a bases-loaded fielder’s choice to score Anthony Volpe, and Michael Hermosillo scored on Pirates first baseman Ji-Man Choi’s throwing error.

The Pirates made it 9-1 in the eighth, when Cal Mitchell doubled, reached third on James Norwood’s wild pitch and scored on a Henry Davis groundout to short.

Chavez Young, acquired from Toronto in the trade for pitcher Zach Thompson, hit Matt Bowman’s 3-2 cutter 408 feet to right field for a home run to cut it to 9-2 in the ninth.

Mitch Keller is expected to start against Yusei Kikuchi when the Pirates play host to the Toronto Blue Jays at 1:05 p.m. Tuesday at LECOM Park in Bradenton, Fla.
