ANAHEIM, Calif. — Aaron Judge hit his 275th home run, Juan Soto broke things open with a bases-clearing triple in the seventh inning and the New York Yankees beat the Los Angeles Angels 8-3 on Thursday night.
Judge joined Lou Gehrig as the only Yankees players to have at least 12 home runs and 12 doubles in a calendar month with a two-run shot off Patrick Sandoval (2-8) in the fourth inning. Gehrig accomplished the feat in July 1930.
It also was Judge's 18th long ball of the season, which is tied with Baltimore's Gunnar Henderson and Houston's Kyle Tucker for the MLB lead.
