Aaron Judge smokes two homers in another historic effort as Yankees dismantle Rockies
NY Post
The Yankees infield defense let down Marcus Stroman, who was merely OK through five innings. The Yankees bats did not cash in on a few opportunities, including loading the bases with one out in the fifth inning and coming away with nothing.
Mistakes, though, can be camouflaged by power — and particularly by the best player in the sport authoring one of the greatest seasons ever seen.
Aaron Judge smoked his 50th and 51st home runs of the season — on a day the Yankees clubbed five — in an eventual 10-3 dismantling of the Rockies on a gorgeous and loud Sunday in The Bronx, where 41,324 watched a varsity player continue to feast on freshmen.
On yet another day for history, Judge jump-started the lineup by blasting his 18th first-inning home run — matching Alex Rodriguez (in 2001) for the major league record — and became the fifth player to reach 50 in a season at least three times. Rodriguez, Sammy Sosa, Babe Ruth and Mark McGwire are not bad company.
