Aaron Judge homered twice, but the New York Yankees (45-21) were blown out by the Los Angeles Dodgers (41-25), 11-3, on Saturday night in the Bronx.
Judge tied the game at two in the third with a solo shot, but it was all Dodgers after that as they plated nine consecutive runs, including seven in the final two innings to put the game out of reach. Judge did smack another home run with two outs in the ninth, his Major League-leading 23rd.
