New York: Aaron Judge hit two more home runs and the New York Yankees slugged five in an 11-5 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays on Tuesday night.
Judge capitalised on a 23mp/h wind blowing out to right field with a two-run homer off Mat Latos (0-1) with nobody out in the second. He added a long three-run homer into the left field seats with nobody out in the seventh off Jason Grilli.
Judge finished with four RBIs and recorded his second career multi-home run game. The right fielder has hit five of his 12 home runs and recorded 10 RBIs in his last five games.
Brett Gardner also homered twice for the Yankees, who won for the 15th time in 20 games. It marked the first time the Yankees had two players hit two home runs in a game at home since Robinson Cano and Curtis Granderson on October 3, 2012.
Chris Sale, given offensive support for the first time by his new team, threw eight strong innings and Hanley Ramirez hit two long solo homers to power Boston 5-2 over Baltimore.
Sale, who had received four runs of support in his first five starts with the Red Sox, allowed three hits and two runs while striking out 11 — his fifth straight double-figure strikeout game. Sale (2-2) walked two. His ERA rose from 1.19 to 1.38.
Sale also extended the Manny Machado drama by throwing behind him in the first inning. That brought a warning to both benches — and the end to anything else Tuesday. Machado later homered off Sale.
