Recap · Aug 23

Judge's first 3-homer game helps Yankees end 9-game skid with 9-1 win over Nationals

Aaron Judge was used to the ribbing from Kyle Higashioka and Anthony Rizzo, a levity that has been missing of late as the New York Yankees sank from contention. They had three-homer games and Judge had none.
