NEW YORK — Ron Marinaccio retired Marcus Semien on a game-ending popup with two on in the ninth inning, Clay Holmes stranded a pair of runners in the eighth and the New York Yankees beat the Texas Rangers 1-0 Saturday after Aaron Judge said he isn't close to returning from an injured right toe.
Billy McKinney hit his fourth homer since he was brought up two weeks ago to replace Judge, who said before the game he has a torn ligament in his toe that causes pain while walking.
McKinney's fourth-inning drive off Jon Gray (6-3) bounced off the hand of a fan sitting about halfway up the right-field bleachers.
