Judge hits another home run
Aaron Judge went 2-for-4 with a home run and three RBI in Tuesday’s win over the Royals. Judge got the Yankees on the board with a single in the first inning that scored Anthony Volpe from third, but his best hit of the night came on a 454-foot blast in the seventh inning that scored Juan Soto and increased the Yankees’ lead to 9-0. Judge’s 25th homer of the season currently leads the league, and he’s slashing an absurd .538/.667/1.192 with four homers and 14 RBI in June.
Fermin hits home run in loss
Freddy Fermin went 1-for-1 with a home run in Tuesday’s loss to the Royals. It was a tough night for the Royals, who were held to just five hits on the night. If not for a pinch-hit homer by Fermin in the eighth, the Royals would have been held without a run for the first time since April. Fermin now has two homers and 13 RBI in 38 games this season and can be left on the waiver wire at this time.
