Judge, Sánchez power Yankees past Angels
NEW YORK (AP) — Aaron Judge and Gary Sánchez powered a long-awaited onslaught from New York's star-studded lineup, helping the Yankees overcome two more home runs by big league leader Shohei Ohtani to beat the Los Angeles Angels 11-5 Tuesday night.
Judge and Sánchez each homered as New York set a season high for runs.
Ohtani cleared the right field fence with a pair of scorching, low drives that pushed his major league-most total to 28. José Iglesias also homered for the Angels, a two-run drive in the second inning.
Sánchez hit a solo shot in the first inning for his 14th of the season, and Judge's two-run shot in the second was his teamleading 18th. Both homers came off Andrew Heaney (4-6), who was charged with seven runs in three-plus innings.
