With Aaron Judge getting at least the start of the night off, the Yankees struggled to do much without him before scrapping a run across.

In a month where he slugged .798 and posted an OPS north of 1.250, Judge hit 11 homers and racked up 20 extra-base hits. That’s not just impressive — it puts him in a club of Yankees legends who dominated baseball decades ago, when balls were heavier, stadiums bigger, and “launch angle” wasn’t a buzzword.

Aaron Judge homered for the third consecutive game, helping the Yankees to a 6-3 win over the Royals on Wednesday night.
