Jesus Montero reached across the plate and sent a 93 m.p.h. pitch about a dozen rows deep into the right-field seats for his first major league home run, a tie-breaking solo shot in the fifth. A Labour Day crowd of 45,069 at Yankee Replica Jerseys Stadium coaxed him out for a curtain call.
Montero leaned for a 94 m.p.h. pitch on the outside corner and drove it 10 rows into those same right-field seats, a little bit more toward the foul line. He had another opposite-field homer, a two-run shot. Curtain call No. 2 followed.
"I was dreaming of that before," Montero said Monday after boosting the Yankees over the Baltimore Orioles 11-10. "I was always telling myself before, 'One day, I'm going to be that guy."'

Los Angeles Angels could stay in the hunt after a sluggish start to the season, when Texas Rangers's pitching.
Haren worked in and out of trouble to get his 14th victory, Mark Trumbo continued his Wholesale Jerseys torrid rookie campaign with a two-run homer and an RBI double, and Vernon Wells hit his 20th home run in a 7-3 victory over the Seattle Mariners on Monday night.
"You feel more of the pressure before and after the games than when you're actually out there," Haren said. "I mean, I still get nervous before I take the mound. But after that, the nerves are pretty much gone and you've got a job to do. To be honest, the pennant race and pitching down the stretch is more of an issue in-between starts."
The win, coupled with Texas' 5-1 loss at Tampa Bay, enabled the Angels to climb within 2 1/2 games of first place.
Anthony Vasquez (1-2) gave up seven runs -- six earned -- and six hits in 5 2-3 innings for Seattle. The former USC left-hander has surrendered 18 earned runs, 22 hits and six home runs in 15 innings over his first three major league starts, including a 13-5 loss to the Angels last Tuesday at Seattle.

He misjudged a two-out triple by Hunter that enabled the Angels to take a 3-1 lead in the first inning.
