NEW YORK -- Aaron Judge had his first big league three-homer game and tied his career high with six RBIs, almost single-handedly breaking the New York Yankees' first nine-game losing streak in 41 years with a 9-1 victory over the Washington Nationals on Wednesday night.
Two hours after general manager Brian Cashman called the season "a disaster," Judge drove a first-inning curveball from MacKenzie Gore over the Yankees bullpen in right-center.
Judge opened a 6-0 lead in the second with his fifth career grand slam, a shot into the netting above Monument Park in center field.
