ARLINGTON, Texas — Gerrit Cole got his fifth win after setting a career-long scoreless streak, DJ LeMahieu and Gleyber Torres hit back-to-back home run s, and the New York Yankees beat the Texas Rangers 4-2 on Thursday night.
The series opener marked Aaron Judge's first game in Texas since breaking Roger Maris' single-season American League record with his 62nd homer at the Rangers' ballpark in October. Judge struck in his only two at-bats in his return before departing because of right hip discomfort.
"Just a little grab in the hip area. After that headfirst dive the other night, just kind of whole right side has been a little locked up," Judge said.
