Daniel Cabrera (1-1) gave up three runs and eight hits in six innings, and streaking Brian Roberts went 2-for-4 with a walk and scored a run. Roberts, who has a hit in all 12 games this season, is batting .449.

It all added up to yet another win over the Yankees, who have won the season series from Baltimore in 20 of the last 22 years.

“They have a lot of superstars over there,” Tejada said, “so we are going to enjoy the moment.”

Making his 2005 debut after spending the first two weeks on the disabled list with a strained back, Brown (0-1) allowed six runs and nine hits in six innings. The right-hander walked two and struck out three.

Brown retired the first two batters in the first inning before Mora hit his second homer. Tejada then doubled and scored on a single by Sammy Sosa, who went to third on a double by Rafael Palmeiro before Brown retired Jay Gibbons on a fly ball.

In the second, Roberts drew a two-out walk, David Newhan singled and Mora walked before Tejada hit an 0-1 pitch an estimated 420 feet over the center-field wall. It was his third homer, and extended his run of games with at least one RBI to nine — one short of the team record held by Reggie Jackson (1976) and Doug DeCinces (’78).

Jeter singled in a run in the fifth and Sierra hit a two-run shot in the sixth to make it 6-3.

The Orioles scored twice in the seventh against the New York bullpen. Paul Quantrill left with the bases loaded before Palmeiro drew a walk from Mike Stanton to force in a run, and Luis Matos hit an RBI single off Steve Karsay.

Rodriguez hit his second home run in the eighth off Steve Reed.

Notes: Palmeiro’s 2,931st hit moved him past Rogers Hornsby into sole possession of 31st place on the career list. ... The Yankees optioned INF Andy Phillips to Triple-A Columbus to make room for Brown on the 25-man roster. ... All three games in the series were sellouts, and the cumulative attendance of 144,542 was the third-largest for a three-game series in the 14-year history of Camden Yards.
