MILWAUKEE (AP) — Aaron Judge homered in the first inning and played a central role as a baserunner during a seven-run rally in the sixth as the New York Yankees defeated the Milwaukee Brewers 15-5 on Sunday.
Anthony Rizzo went 4 for 4 and hit his 300th career homer. Anthony Volpe added a three-run shot on his 23rd birthday. Judge went 3 for 4 with three RBIs, including a 441-foot solo shot.
New York also beat Milwaukee 15-3 on Saturday, marking the first time since 2007 that the Yankees scored at least 15 runs in back-to-back games.
New York grabbed a one-game lead in the AL East over the Baltimore Orioles, who lost 7-6 to Oakland. The Yankees begin a four-game series at Baltimore on Monday.
“We’re excited,” Judge said. “We’ve been watching them from afar. They’re a great team. They’ve got a young, great team, did a lot of great things last year, especially winning the division. We’re excited to get out there and have some fun.”
