Aaron Judge was 1 for 5 with a single in the first game of a day/night DH, a game the Yankees (99-61) won 5-4. He is now hitting .310 after that game.
The Yanks have just the night game tonight and an afternoon game tomorrow left in their season before their postseason begins with Game 1 of the ALDS at Yankee Stadium on October 11.
The Yanks did hit three HR in the game, including the first MLB HR by Oswald Peraza.
Oswaldo Cabrera got the scoring started with a HR in the top of the first inning (6).
Yanks’ starter Jameson Taillon gave two runs back in the bottom of the first and had to get out of a bases-loaded jam or else he would have given up more than that. Texas up 2-1 after one inning.
Peraza hit his HR in the top of the second to tie the game.
The Yanks went up 3-2 in the top of the fifth. Peraza (who has been playing great since he has been called up, as has Cabrera) singled and stole second. After a popup, Marwin Gonzalez singled in Peraza.
But Taillon gave up a 2-run HR in the bottom of the fifth and Texas took a 4-3 lead.
The Yanks’ winning rally came in the top of the eighth. Kyle Higashioka, hot lately, led off the inning with a HR (10) to tie the game. Judge singled and Anthony Rizzo was HBP. Cabrera sacrificed both runners over, and Harrison Bader singled to give the Yanks the eventual winning run.
Cabrera solo HR (6)
Peraza 2 hits, solo HR (1) FIRST MLB HR
