Nats rookies rough up Gerrit Cole in victory over Yankees

WASHINGTON — Dylan Crews got the first two hits of his career and Andrés Chaparro and José Tena hit back-to-back homers on a banner night for Washington's rookies as the Nationals ambushed Gerrit Cole and the New York Yankees 4-2 on Tuesday.

Aaron Judge doubled in the first inning but remained stuck on 51 homers for the AL-best Yankees. He came up with the bases loaded and no outs in the eighth against reliever Jacob Barnes but grounded into a double play on a 3-1 pitch to score New York's first run. After hitting two longballs Sunday against Colorado, Judge is 2 for 7 with two walks in two games at Washington.
