NEW YORK (AP) — Fresh off a power-packed win, the New York Yankees’ clubhouse was pumpin’ and thumpin’. Until some mysterious DJ suddenly turned down the volume.
“Who’s touching that music over there?” Aaron Judge called out, playfully.
Suffice to say, the bats are about to get a lot louder in the Bronx.
Gary Sánchez, Gleyber Torres and DJ LeMahieu homered in a hurry, connecting in a six-run fourth inning that powered the Yankees past the Houston Astros 10-6 Thursday night for their sixth straight win.
Edwin Encarnación hit his AL-leading 23rd home run as the Yankees handed Houston its season-worst fifth loss in a row, matching its longest skid since 2016.
