EXTRA INNINGS
STAT OF THE GAME
34 Already the recordholder for position players, Aaron Judge tied pitcher Vida Blue at 34 consecutive games with at least one strikeout, and Judge is now one shy of tying pitcher Bill Stoneman’s 1971 record of 35. Judge struck out three times Thursday and has struck out multiple times in 19 of the 34 games during the streak.
MIA
Yoenis Cespedes went 0-for3 with a strikeout before he was switched out of the game at the end of the sixth inning.
UNSUNG HERO
Gardner’s two-run double in the fourth put the Yanks up 5-0. The left fielder reached on a throwing error by Matz to begin the game and scored on Sanchez’s home run.
