Aaron Judge broke out of an extended slump with a pair of homers, leading the Yankees to a 12-5 win over the visiting A's.
Judge launched his 29th home run of the season in the 4th inning with Cody Bellinger aboard, putting the Yankees up 7-0. The A's managed to score a run in the 5th and four in the 6th, but the game was already out of hand and Judge ended any doubts with #30, a 426-foot bomb to left center, again with Bollinger on base. Judge's four RBI gave him 67, two behind Seattle's Cal Raleigh for the AL and major league lead. Raleigh also leads Judge by two in the home run department.
Despite still leading the majors with a .356 batting average, the month of June has not been kind to Judge, the 2024 AL MVP. His average dropped 40 points from June 10. Though he's only hit .258 for the month, Judge still hit nine homers and drove in 17. What would be considered a pretty good stretch for most players is not up to the usual standards for one of the best players in the majors.
New York's win kept them in first place in the AL East, though the margin is only 1 1/2 over the Rays and 3 games over the Blue Jays. The Yankees will get a chance to show what they're made of prior to the All-Star break. A four-game series at Toronto starts Monday. After that, they play three at Citi Field against the Mets, then return home for back-to-back three-game series against Seattle and the Cubs.
The A's retained their hold on last place in the AL West, dropping two of three to the Yankees over the weekend.

Cruz delivered again in the 7th with his 15th dinger. Six different Pirates had at least two hits as they completed their dismantling of the Mets, winning 9-1 Friday and 9-2 Saturday.
Cruz, along with his 15 home runs and 35 RBI, leads the National League with 27 stolen bases.
The Pirates will try to keep things going when they host St. Louis for three games starting Monday. The Mets, now 1 1/2 games behind the Phillies in the NL East, will try to right their floundering ship when they host three with the Brewers starting Tuesday, followed by three at home with the Yankees. The Mets have lost 13 of their last 16 games.
