Aaron Judge blasts another home run to keep up historic pace as Gerrit Cole leads Yankees’ one-hitter
NY Post
On an afternoon a few costars joined the show, the Aaron Judge spectacle rolled on.
Gerrit Cole was excellent and led a staff that held Cleveland to one hit.
Giancarlo Stanton blasted a three-run bomb.
But everything in the Yankees universe revolves around a slugger who is authoring another one of the greatest seasons in baseball history.
Judge cracked open the scoring with his 48th home run of the year, which became the only run the Yankees needed in a 6-0 win over the Guardians in front of 38,105 in The Bronx on Thursday.
The Yankees (75-53) won the series and a 15th game in their past 23 behind their ace, Cole throwing six scoreless innings while allowing just the one hit and walking five in his fourth encouraging outing in a row.

Cade Cunningham, almost inarguably the best player in the East this season, is likely out for the remainder of the regular season. That’s the word out of Detroit following the depressing news that Cunningham punctured a lung when he took a knee to his side Tuesday from Washington’s Tre Johnson while chasing a loose ball.

Wednesday was another positive day at Yankees camp. For the first time since March 6, 2025 — an outing in which he knew “something wasn’t right,” which began a weeks-long saga that ended on the operating table for Tommy John surgery — Gerrit Cole was back on a mound and facing hitters in game action.
