Aaron Judge is suspended from New York Yankees for having an alleged affair with a female team staff member after…..

Aaron Judge hit his first home run of the season and added an RBI double in a two-run 11th inning, boosting the New York Yankees over the Arizona Diamondbacks 6-5 on Wednesday to complete an opening 6-1 road trip.

“Everyone knows 99 is our captain — we go where we he goes,” Yankees outfielder Alex Verdugo said in a reference to Judge’s jersey number.

“He’s somebody who works hard every day. You can tell, he’s the captain for a reason.”

Verdugo broke a 2-2 tie in the 10th with his first Yankees home run, a two-run drive off Kevin Ginkel.

Arizona tied the score in the bottom half off Clay Holmes (1-0), helped by shortstop Anthony Volpe’s throwing error.

Entering Tuesday’s game against the Arizona Diamondbacks, Soto’s looked like a bona fide star.

He’s off to a scintillating start with an American League-leading nine hits through his first five games, batting .450/.560/.650 with four RBIs. Not surprisingly, the Yankees were a perfect 5-0 during those contests.

During his first week in pinstripes, Soto has shown off the various facets of his game that make him such a special player.

He’s been locked in at the plate, drawing more walks (five) than strikeouts (three) and clubbing a pair of extra-base hits.

He’s also made some nice plays in the field, contributing on both sides of the ball and earning his first AL Player of the Week award.
