Yankees’ Judge whiffs record 8 times in doubleheader split with Tigers

Aaron Judge endured a historically bad day, but the New York Yankees’ results on Monday were only half bad.

The Yankees split a doubleheader in Detroit, taking the opener from the Tigers 7-4 before falling 4-2 in the nightcap.

Judge struck out eight times overall – a major league record for a doubleheader. He fanned five times in the second game and went 0-for-9 during the twin-bill.

In the first game, New York’s Austin Romine hit a three-run homer during a sixth-run fourth. Luis Severino (9-1) limited the Tigers to two runs (one earned) on four hits while striking out 10 and walking none in eight innings. Aroldis Chapman got the last out for his 14th save.

In the second game, Leonys Martin reached base three times and scored twice, Victor Martinez had two hits and an RBI and James McCann scored and knocked in a run for the Tigers.

New York had its five-game winning streak snapped.

Giants 10, Diamondbacks 3

Andrew McCutchen and Brandon Crawford hit back-to-back home runs to ignite a seven-run fourth inning, sending San Francisco to a victory over visiting Arizona.

Pablo Sandoval and Nick Hundley also homered for the Giants, who won their fifth straight while snapping the Diamondbacks’ winning streak at three.

Padres 11, Braves 4

San Diego pounded out nine extra-base hits, including four solo homers, to defeat visiting Atlanta.

Eric Hosmer, Cory Spangenberg and Raffy Lopez homered in the first four innings to give the Padres a 3-2 lead. San Diego exploded for seven runs in the fifth against Atlanta starter Julio Teheran (4-4) and reliever Luiz Gohara to break the game open.

Angels 9, Royals 6

Jefry Marte had four hits, including a home run, and Mike Trout and Justin Upton each had three hits to lead Los Angeles over visiting Kansas City. The Angels rallied from down 5-2 in the fifth inning to win for the third time in four games.

Trout, Upton and Albert Pujols had RBI singles in the pivotal eighth inning. Cam Bedrosian (2-1), the fourth of five Angels relievers, picked up the win. Blake Parker pitched the ninth and earned his fourth save. (Reuters)
