Rookie Judge hits 2 more homers as Yankees thump Orioles 14-3
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 13 - 06 - 2017

Rookie sensation Aaron Judge hit two more home runs, including a drive that cleared the distant bleachers at Yankee Stadium, and sent New York romping past Baltimore 14-3 Sunday for its fifth straight win.
Even by his lofty feats, it was quite a power show by the 6-foot-7 Judge. He leads the majors with 21 homers and tops the AL with 47 RBIs and a .344 batting average.
In the sixth, Judge launched a mammoth shot to left-center field that was estimated at 495 feet, the longest homer in the majors this season, according to Statcast.
Judge lined a drive into the right-center seats in his next at-bat, and also doubled earlier. Adam Warren (2-1) pitched 1 2/3 scoreless innings for the win.
Cubs 7, Rockies 5
Addison Russell had a go-ahead home run for his first big contribution since an absence in the wake of a Major League Baseball investigation into domestic abuse allegations, and the Cubs stopped the Rockies› seven-game winning streak.
Russell and Kyle Schwarber connected for back-to-back homers off Jordan Lyles (0-2) in the sixth inning. Miguel Montero and Ben Zobrist also went deep, helping the World Series champion Cubs even their record at 31-31.
Dodgers 9, Reds 7
Corey Seager capped Los Angeles› six-run eighth inning with his first career grand slam, helping the Dodgers finish off the sweep. Rookie Cody Bellinger sparked Los Angeles› rally with one-out drive against Austin Brice. Rasiel Iglesias (2-1) replaced Brice with a runner on first and walked three straight batters to force in a run, trimming Cincinnati›s lead to 7-5. Seager then hit a drive to center for his ninth homer.
Rangers 5, Nationals 1
Max Scherzer struck out 10 to move past 2,000 for his career, but was outpitched by Austin Bibens-Dirkx as the Rangers completed the sweep of the weekend series. Scherzer (7-4) has 2,005 career strikeouts after fanning at least 10 batters seven times this season.
Cardinals 6, Phillies 5
Dexter Fowler hit a three-run homer for St. Louis, and Adam Wainwright tossed five solid innings. The Cardinals have won three in a row following a season-high seven-game losing streak. Daniel Nava homered for the Phillies, who have dropped five in a row.

Addison Reed got his 11th save in 13 chances.
Blue Jays 4, Mariners 0
Josh Donaldson hit a two-run homer for Toronto, and J.A. Happ struck out eight in six innings.

Pirates 3, Marlins 1
Ivan Nova pitched six shutout innings, Elias Diaz drove in two runs and the Pirates beat Jeff Locke and the Marlins. Nova (6-4) allowed one hit, struck out four and walked none.

Rays 5, Athletics 4
Mallex Smith had three hits and used his speed to set up the go-ahead run, helping the Rays take three of four from the Athletics. Smith led off the seventh with a bunt single and went to third after reliever Daniel Coulombe (0-1) was charged with an error for an errant throw to first that ended up in the right-field corner. Tampa Bay went ahead 5-4 when Corey Dickerson hit a sacrifice fly on the next pitch.
Royals 8, Padres 3
Mike Moustakas homered twice for Kansas City, and Jake Junis pitched seven-plus solid innings. Alex Gordon and Eric Hosmer also connected for the Royals, who hit five on Saturday against the Padres.
