New York Yankees DFS SPIN
Aaron Judge clobbered his 52nd home run of the season on Saturday, but it wasn’t enough to lead the Yankees past the Rays. Judge finally got the Yankees on the board with his 392-foot solo shot off of Jason Adam leading off the top of the ninth inning. That would be their only tally in the ballgame. The 30-year-old superstar finished the evening 2-for-4 and is now slashing a monstrous .296/.399/.666 with a league-leading 52 homers, 114 RBI and 15 stolen bases.
Tampa Bay Rays DFS SPIN
Yandy Díaz went 2-for-4 and drove in both of the Rays runs on Saturday night, propelling them to a hard-fought 2-1 victory over the Yankees. The Rays rallied off of Clarke Schmidt in the third inning using a pair of singles and a sacrifice bunt to put two runners in scoring position. Díaz then cashed both of them in with a two-run knock into right field. That would be the extent of their offense in the game, but Corey Kluber and company made sure that it stood up. He’s now hitting .288/.396/.421 on the season — though that comes with only eight homers, 51 RBI and two stolen bases across 492 plate appearances.
