Overview
- The Yankees beat the Orioles 12-1 on Monday at Yankee Stadium to finish a four-game sweep.
- Aaron Judge went 2-for-4 with a two-run first-inning homer, a walk, and four RBIs, pushing his major-league lead to 14 home runs.
- The blast was his 91st first-inning homer, third in Yankees history behind Babe Ruth and Mickey Mantle, and a stats account credited it as his 382nd career homer tied for 71st all-time.
- Before first pitch the club held a moment of silence and laid a wreath for longtime radio voice John Sterling, and Judge later said, “We weren’t losing today.”
- New York is 24-11 and leads the AL East, and the Yankees now host the Texas Rangers next.
