BALTIMORE — Gleyber Torres’ power show didn’t heal any of the Yankee stars on the injured list. Nor did Gary Sanchez and Luke Voit adding homers accelerate the recovery process for the bruised and battered.

Nevertheless, if there is such a thing as a must win in early April, the Yankees’ 8-4 victory over the hapless Orioles on Thursday in front of 44,182 at Camden Yards certainly qualified.

In the first two series of the young season, the Yankees lost two of three to the Orioles and matched that versus the inept Tigers in The Bronx, including a record-setting 18-strikeout performance Wednesday.

With that as a backdrop, the Yankees were put in a 3-0, first-inning ditch by starter James Paxton on Thursday.

Without Giancarlo Stanton, Miguel Andujar and Aaron Hicks, would that be too steep of a hurdle to clear?

Thanks to Torres it wasn’t, because he went 4-for-4, homered twice and drove in four runs. The four hits are the most in the 22-year-old infielder’s brief big-league career.

“He was locked in today, came up huge for us,’’ Aaron Judge said of Torres, who homered leading off the third, doubled in the fifth, hit a three-run homer in the sixth that gave the Yankees their first lead of the game and singled in the eighth. “He changed the momentum of the game and the momentum of the series.’’

Paxton’s second pitch of the first inning was tucked inside the right-field foul pole by leadoff hitter Jonathan Villar and things got worse as the frame unfolded. The lefty wild-pitched one run home and balked another in.

“That was a rough first inning, I have to do a better job than that,’’ said Paxton, who gave up just one more run and pitched into the sixth inning to get the victory.

Torres’ first homer of the season cut the O’s lead to 3-1, and Sanchez’s third with two outs in the sixth inning made it 4-2 and ignited a game-changing rally.

Mike Wright replaced starter Alex Cobb and gave up a singles to Greg Bird and DJ LeMahieu and was ahead of Torres, 0-2, when a 95 mph fastball left the park. Voit, who was 1-for-18, added a three-run homer in the ninth.

“First two series we lost and for sure we felt mad. At another point we felt motivation and everybody is on the same page,’’ Torres said. “We are a really good team. Just try to do the job. Try to be comfortable every day and try to win. That is what is most important.’’

While the four long balls, which will remain the Yankees’ calling card no matter who is or isn’t in the lineup, certainly helped, Tommy Kahnle’s 1 ²/₃- inning relief stint played a colossal part in the victory.

“He came in there struggling initially,’’ Aaron Boone said of Kahnle, who walked the bases loaded with no outs in his previous outing but escaped unscathed and walked Jesus Sucre, the first batter he faced Thursday, with a runner on first and one out. “He was in a tough spot. That was the game right there. We weren’t going to anyone else.’’

Kahnle responded by feeding Richie Martin a 6-4-3 double-play ball that Torres started and worked a clean seventh to get a one-run lead to Zack Britton. The lefty gave up a walk and hit, but not a run. Aroldis Chapman was poised to work the ninth with a one-run lead until Voit’s three-run jolt turned the final frame into a non-save situation. Chapman gave up a soft leadoff single to Martin before retiring the next three batters with sliders.

All of which was nice, but it was Torres’ day.

“We were fired up,’’ Boone said of the dugout when Torres hit the second homer. “We have had opportunities and haven’t been able to cash in. To finally get a big one there, in the dugout there was some emotion and energy brought and it was good to see us go and add on. It really helped the energy in the dugout.’’

Even if it didn’t do anything for the very important healing process of the injured players.
