Aaron Judge News: Homers twice as DH

Judge went 2-for-4 with a pair of two-run home runs and an additional run scored in Sunday's 12-5 win over the Athletics.

According to Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News, Judge was nursing a sore back heading into the game, which was likely a factor in him drawing a start at designated hitter Sunday. He certainly wasn't slowed down at the plate, however, logging his fifth multi-home run game this season to give him 30 long balls through 83 contests. Judge, who went just 4-for-23 (.160 average) in seven games prior to Sunday, is still slashing a robust .356/.458/.722 with 67 RBI, 73 runs and six stolen bases across 369 plate appearances on the campaign.
