Milwaukee, Wisconsin (AP) – On Sunday, the New York Yankees trounced the Milwaukee Brewers 15-5. Aaron Judge led the team in runs scored during a seven-run rally in the sixth inning and hit a home ball in the first.

300th career home run was struck by Anthony Rizzo, who went 4 for 4. On his 23rd birthday, Anthony Volpe added a three-run shot. Judge hit.441 on a solo shot and finished 3 for 4 with three RBIs.

For the first time since 2007, the Yankees scored at least 15 runs in back-to-back games when they defeated Milwaukee 15-3 on Saturday.

With Oakland’s 7-6 victory over the Baltimore Orioles, New York took a one-game lead over them in the AL East. On Monday, the Yankees will kick off a four-game series in Baltimore.

Judge said, “We’re excited.” “We have been observing them remotely. They make an amazing team. They have a fantastic young team that accomplished a lot last season, most notably taking home the division title. We can’t wait to go out and enjoy ourselves.

Jake Bauers of Milwaukee, a player for the Yankees the previous season, went 3 for 5 against his old team and hit a three-run home run. The first baseman, 28, also threw a ninth inning without giving up any runs.

When the Yankees erupted in the sixth inning, the score was tied. After shortstop Willy Adames’ attempt to convert a double play earlier in the inning failed due to Judge’s padded left hand being hit by Adames’ throw, the Brewers scored all seven of their runs with two outs.

Judge was on first following

Alex Verdugo hit a bouncer to Brice Turang, second baseman, who then retired Judge at second base with a throw to Adames, drawing a leadoff walk. As Judge moved onto second base, he lifted his left arm, causing Adames’ throw to bounce off the 6-foot-7 slugger’s hand before it hit the ground.

Judge should have been called for interference, according to Brewers manager Pat Murphy, which would have left the Yankees with two outs and no one on base. It was Verdugo’s first at-bat with one out because the umpiring staff was not in agreement.

Following the match, crew chief Andy Fletcher told a pool reporter, “On the field, we got together and did the best that we could to come up with the correct answer.” “After reviewing it in replay off the field,

The call seems to have been missed. Since it wasn’t a normal feature of his descent, it ought to have been referred to as interference. To us, it didn’t seem that way.

According to Judge, he simply finished second, like he has done for years.

Judge stated, “You can go back and look at any picture you want of me sliding into second base.” “It has consistently occurred.”

Gleyber Torres’ single off Abner Uribe gave Verdugo the lead (2-2). The American Family Field crowd jeered Judge after he hit a two-run single, sparking a rally that saw the Yankees score six more runs.

Regarding the mishandled double play and missed call, Adames observed, “That changed the whole game.”

The seven-run explosion by New York came after the Brewers

scored four runs in the fifth inning off Marcus Stroman to overcome a 4-0 deficit.

Ron Marinaccio (1-0) gave up one run in 1 1/3 innings to earn the victory.

The Trainers’ Room

Yankees: As the 2023 AL Cy Young Award winner recovers from an elbow injury, manager Aaron Boone reported that “everything went really well” during RHP Gerrit Cole’s throwing session on Saturday. “A fairly intense day from a flat ground standpoint,” according to Boone.

Brewers: Murphy reported that Christian Yelich, an OF, had “stalled a little bit” in his recuperation from a lower back ailment. Murphy went on to say that he doesn’t believe this is a permanent condition. Murphy stated, “I believe we’ll be in a better spot in a week.” Yelich didn’t participate in a game since April 12.
