BALTIMORE -- Adam Jones, back after missing four games, hit a three-run homer and finished with five RBIs as the Baltimore Orioles defeated the New York Yankees 10-4 on Wednesday night.

The Orioles (27-24) won two of three against the first-place Yankees (30-20) after losing 12 of 15 coming into the series.

Jones, who had been sidelined due to ankle issues, returned with a bang. He had an RBI double in the third inning before homering in the fourth.

He then got his 1,500th career hit with Baltimore in the eighth, an RBI infield single. Jones ended up 3-for-5 with two runs.

Chris Davis also homered, a two-run shot in the seventh that made it 9-3.

Baltimore starter Kevin Gausman (3-4) labored through 5 1/3 innings but escaped with the win. He gave up three runs (two earned) on eight hits despite walking five with four strikeouts.

Mychal Givens, Darren O'Day and Mike Wright combined to finish the final 3 2/3 innings and allowed just one run.

Masahiro Tanaka (5-5) gave up seven runs on nine hits in 5 2/3 innings while losing his fourth consecutive start.

The Orioles jumped in front early with a four-run third inning against Tanaka. Jones brought in the first run with an RBI double before Mark Trumbo added a two-run double.

Davis followed with a run-scoring single to make it 4-0. Baltimore got a break on the Trumbo double as Aaron Judge misplayed the ball in right, coming in at first before the ball sailed over his head.

The Yankees got one back thanks to a Jonathan Schoop throwing error in the fourth.

Jones answered in the bottom of the inning and crushed a two-out, three-run homer that gave the Orioles a 7-1 lead.

Aaron Hicks and Matt Holliday each drove in a run in a two-run fifth as the Yankees cut the lead to 7-3.

NOTES: Orioles C Welington Castillo (testicular injury) was placed on the 10-day disabled list before the game after getting hurt in the Tuesday game and spending time at the hospital. C Francisco Pena came up with Triple-A Norfolk to replace him. ... Yankees manager Joe Girardi said before the game that OF Jacoby Ellsbury (concussion) was going to take batting practice and hopefully see the doctor and get cleared to return. However, there was no final answer on that during the game.
