One intense swing returns the judge to orbit and the Yankees start the second half. Scheduled with a bang that helped to do.
Judge left to eight innings for his third career Grand Slam (and the 30th home run of the season, mostly major) when New York drilled thePittsburgh Pirates. I sent a laser to a seat in the field. 42} We split the two-game interleague set at 16-0 on Wednesday night.
Aaron Hicks added his inning grand slam the night the Yankees hit a total of six home runs, pushing the team's total to 139, a major league leader.
Giancarlo Stanton, Josh Donaldson, Joey Gallo and Kyle Higashioka also helped Luis Severino with a home run in New York.
The Yankees team owner talked about Aaron Judge's contract negotiations and felt good about the off-season offer
"Like this The game helps the guys roll, "said the judge. "The boys had good at-bats, put a few balls in the gap, and all of a sudden boys took off for a month, two, a month, or even the rest of the season."
It's a trial. It is a zone where officials seem to have entered from the first day. A few hours after Yankees owner Hal Steinbrenner admitted that a record deal could be needed to prevent judges from hitting free agents next winter, the outfielder was one. It seemed worth the money. He finished three of New York's best 22 hits of the season and was the first Yankees player to reach the 30 Homer Plateau before the All-Star breaks twice.
This is the number that New York manager Aaron Boone left his head swaying.
"It's hard for me to get involved with it," Boone said. He has never hit more than 26 home runs during the season in his 12-year career. "So whatever kind of baseball he was playing, it was pretty impressive along the way here. Obviously, the power was there."

Hicks cleared the base in the ninth round. Pirates utility infielder Josh VanMeter made his third relief appearance this season.
"I feel like any of those guys can hit Homer at any time," Van Meter said. "You just go out there and throw strikes, and no matter what actually happens, you're not competing there. You're just trying to save some pitcher's arms and pick them up. Only. "
Severino (5-3) allowed four hits in six dominant innings and took a walk to win his first victory in more than a month. Hit 3 times without. The right-handed player gave Ke'Bryan Hayes a single and Bryan Reynolds a double, retiring 12 straights and 18 of the last 20 batters he faced after starting his first bottom.
The victory ended two skids in New York. New York began later in the season with the same recipe that made the Yankees the best major record and the second best start in franchise history. Throughout 81 games: dominant start pitching and ample power.

After taking a 2-0 lead on the fourth hit with a small ball , -Run and the stolen bass, Donaldsonand Gallotook Mitch Keller (2-6) twice deep in the sixth three-pitch span and broke it.
New York is still in its infancy, adding once in seven, five in eight, six in nine, and improving to 3-3 in 10 game road trips in 4 cities.
"It's difficult to control this lineup," said Pirates manager Derek Shelton. "It won't happen often. They recorded a lot of runs and (Judge) is the catalyst for that."
Reynolds hit two out of four in Pittsburgh. However, Pirates could hardly get together against Severino and the three New York rescuers. The best 10 hits and 7 strikeouts of the season. By the time New York overwhelmed Pittsburgh's overweight bullpen, he was gone.
