Judge hits MLB-high 41st homer as Yankees beat Blue Jays

NEW YORK — Aaron Judge launched his 41st home run, adding to his major league-leading total, and the New York Yankees beat the Toronto Blue Jays 8-3 on Saturday.

"We're watching greatness. So you try not to take that for granted," Yankees manager Aaron Boone said. "Try to appreciate every now and then what we have."

Anthony Volpe and No. 9 batter Trent Grisham also hit two-run shots off José Berríos to help Carlos Rodón (12-7) win his third consecutive start after going 0-5 in his previous six.

Volpe and Austin Wells each had an RBI single for the Yankees, who began the day tied with Baltimore atop the AL East after their five-game winning streak was snapped Friday night in the series opener.
