Judge Powers Yankees Past D-backs with Milestone Blast
Aaron Judge continues to make history in pinstripes. The Yankees slugger crushed a three-run homer in the first inning to mark his 500th career extra-base hit, becoming the third-fastest in franchise history to reach that milestone behind Lou Gehrig and Joe DiMaggio.
Judge added an RBI single in the fourth, finishing the game with four RBIs and capping off a dominant homestand with five homers and 15 RBIs.
Carlos Carrasco (1-0) earned the win with 5 1/3 innings of three-run ball. Trent Grisham provided big support with a three-hit, three-RBI night, including a two-run homer.
Arizona made things interesting late with a grand slam by Geraldo Perdomo, the team’s second of the series, but the Yankees held on. Starter Merrill Kelly (0-1) allowed nine runs in less than four innings.
