Aaron Judge belts another long homer as Yankees keep rolling vs. Giant
SAN FRANCISCO Nobody has ever hit a ball to the giant glove beyond the left-field bleachers at Oracle Park, a fact that Aaron Judge is aware of. But the childhood Giants fan-turned-Yankees slugger took aim at it on Saturday night. Judge didnt quite make it there, but settled for a 464-foot, two-run blast in the first inning that set the tone for another Yankees win, 7-3 over the Giants on a chilly evening by the bay. Aaron Judge celebrates with Juan Soto after hitting a two-run homer in the first inning of the Yankees 7-3 win over the Giants. Getty Images Its deep out there, Judge said with a grin. I was just happy it went over the fence and we were able to get up Jason Adam Jersey two runs. Before the night was over, Judge was intentionally walked during a Yankees rally and then started another one late with an infield single to help ice the game. Explore More Coming , Judge continued to play up to the moment in the ballpark he grew up going to and in front of the fan base he inflicted pain on as a free agent when he decided to remain in pinstripes. Got a lot of family in town, got a lot of friends in town and we gotta do something special for them, Judge said. Trying to stay locked in and put on a show for them. With the win, the Yankees (41-19) clinched yet another series win, giving them 15 through their first 19 series of the season for only the sixth time in franchise history. Judges 21st home run of the season a night after he crushed two to cap off a 14-homer May came on the ninth pitch of his at-bat against Giants ace Logan Webb. Alex Verdugo celebrates after hitting an RBI triple to score Aaron Judge in eighth inning of the Yankees 7-3 win over the Giants. Getty Images Judges 21st home run of the season a night after he came on the ninth pitch of his at-bat against Giants ace Logan Webb. He got into a 3-2 count, fouled off three straight pitches and then unloaded on a changeup near the bottom of the zone. Thats just a really good at-bat, manager Aaron Boone said. The difference between him and most other guys is when guys get hot and they hit it off the barrel, they rack up some hits. He gets hot, he hits it off the barrel, its in the seats. Over his past 33 games, Judge is now batting .374 with a 1.411 OPS and 17 home runs. Cody Poteet, who was filling in the Yankees rotation for the injured Clarke Schmidt, allowed three runs in five innings to pick up the win. Robert Edwards-USA TODAY Sports Theres runs in the 22 season that were pretty wild, but this ones on par with that, for sure, Giancarlo Stanton said. Its not bad. Clinging on to a 4-3 lead in the top of the eighth, the Yankees gave themselves some breathing room with a two-out rally started by Judge. The big man legged out an infield single before Alex Verdugo drove him in on a triple to the wall in right-center field. Stanton followed with the knockout punch, keeping a two-run home run fair down the left-field line to make it a 7-3 lead over the Giants (29-30).

Despite having been on the injured list at Scranton/Wilkes-Barre with a blister and not having pitched since May 19, Poteet was mostly sharp, throwing five innings and giving up three runs (two earned). He allowed only three hits, one being a two-run homer, walked one and struck out six. After Judges early jolt nine of his 21 home runs this season have now come in the first inning the Yankees added on in the third inning, which involved him getting something akin to the Barry Bonds treatment. Aaron Judge belts a 464-foot homer in the first inning of the Yankees win. USA TODAY Sports via Reuters Con DJ LeMahieu led off the frame with a single before Anthony Volpe smacked a double to left field, extending his career-high on-base streak to 28 games (matching Judge). Juan Soto drove in LeMahieu with a sacrifice fly to the warning track in left field, making it 3-0, with Volpe tagging up to third. Webb then threw a pair of balls to Judge before the Giants decided to intentionally walk him. Verdugo took advantage, finding the open left side of the infield for a single to push the lead to 4-0. I thought [Judge] was at another level in San Diego, Anaheim and just taking his act up the coast now, Boone said. I think its cool for him to be here and playing in this building. To put on the performance hes put on the last two nights is in line with what hes been for a pretty good stretch. Jose Bautista Jersey
