MINNEAPOLIS -- Aaron Judge's 31st birthday could have unfolded badly, with the New York Yankees in a slump and his ill-fated stolen base attempt that ended in pain.
Judge and the Yankees left Minnesota in a much better mood.
Judge had three hits and three RBIs and dodged an injury scare to help the Yankees avoid a rare sweep by the Twins with a 12-6 victory on Wednesday.
"It would've been a sad birthday if we would've got swept here," Judge said.
