NEW YORK — With the Yankees still fighting for a division title, they faced a tough test on Friday night in the form of Orioles ace Trevor Rogers.

The Bombers passed with flying colors, as Giancarlo Stanton and Aaron Judge combined for three home runs off the left-hander, one of baseball’s best pitchers this season, in an 8-4 win.

With two games left in the regular season, the victory kept the Yankees tied with the Blue Jays atop the American League East, as Toronto beat the Rays in Canada on Friday. The Jays hold the tiebreaker over the Yankees thanks to their 8-5 head-to-head record, though.

The Yankees, who can fall back on having home-field advantage in the wild-card round, have their version of the Bash Brothers to thank for Friday’s win, as Stanton smashed his first home run of the night, a two-run shot, over Yankee Stadium’s short right-field porch in the first inning. He followed with another two-run homer — a 451-foot no-doubter to the left field terrace — off Rogers in the third inning.

Judge had already hit a two-run dinger of his own earlier in the third, a rapid response to Jordan Westburg’s three-run homer off Will Warren in the top of the inning.

Rogers, the owner of a 1.81 ERA, had only surrendered three home runs over his first 106 2/3 innings this season. Yet Stanton and Judge tagged him for three long balls over just 13 batters on Friday night.

The Yankees are now 51-7 when the two homer in the same game. That includes the postseason.

Stanton, meanwhile, has 452 home runs for his career after hitting his 22nd and 23rd jacks of the year. He is tied with Red Sox legend Carl Yastrzemski for 40th place on the all-time home run list.

While the Yankees’ biggest sluggers teed off on Friday, a few of their pitchers didn’t make things easy.

Warren allowed another homer in the sixth when Tyler O’Neill smacked a bases-empty blast off the right-hander. That ended Warren’s night, as well as his rookie season. He finished the year with a 4.44 ERA, 171 strikeouts and 162 1/3 innings over 33 starts.

With Warren out of the game, Mark Leiter Jr. took over, only to find himself in a bases-loaded jam thanks to a Paul Goldschmidt error and a pair of walks. Fortunately for the Yankees, Tim Hill cleaned up the mess with an inning-ending groundout before Austin Wells added an insurance run with a single in the bottom of the sixth.

The Yankees scored again in the seventh on a Stanton groundout, bringing his RBI total to five on the night. The DH had been struggling over his previous 23 games, hitting just .158 with a .577 OPS, but he looked to be in his deadly postseason form on Friday with the playoffs just days away.
