Aaron Judge remains at 60 home runs on the season, but the Yankees keep winning ball games, taking care of the Red Sox, for the second straight night, 5-4 at the Stadium. The Bronx Bombers have now won five in a row.
Judge went 1-for-4 with a couple of strikeouts in a game that was exclusively broadcast on Apple TV+ drawing the expected hand-wringing from fans who don't have access to the $4.99 a month streamer.
Albert Pujols however, gave Apple it's money's worth blasting home runs 699 and 700 last night in Los Angeles.
Instead of Judge, it was Aaron Hicks and Gleyber Torres in the starring role for the Bombers on Friday night.
Hicks homered in the third and drove in a run in the fifth to help New York build a 2-1 lead.
Later a double by Torres, assisted by a two-base error by Boston brought home Marwin Gonzalez and Hicks to make it a 4-1 game.
Things would get interesting when Alex Verdugo cracked a three-run homer to tie the game at four in the top of the sixth. However Ronnie Marinaccio and Jonathan Loaisiga did an outstanding job blanking the BoSox over the next two innings, setting up Jos Trevino to put the Yankees up for good, when he delivered an RBI single in the bottom of the eighth.
