Offense backs Montgomery's gem in series opener with Orioles — Yankees Postgame Notebook

The 25-year-old Judge leads all American League players in fan voting for starting spots in the All-Star Game.

The Orioles can only hope they're relevant in September. His sentiment was unlike his teammates' and that of a sellout crowd of 46,348, who were awed by Judge's latest achievements.

In six games at Yankee Stadium this season, the Orioles have allowed 66 runs.

For the second straight day, the Yankees jumped on the Orioles in the first inning and never looked back.

"There's not a hole, you know?"

The Yankees' offense is impressive.

His home runs include a 495-foot blast into the left-field seats in Yankee Stadium Sunday, the longest home run of 2017, and a 121.1 miles per hour shot off Orioles right-hander Chris Tillman, the hardest hit ball since 2015, the first year of the Statcast era. He added a two-run shot in the seventh.

Tigers 8, Red Sox 3: Justin Upton hit a grand slam off the right-field foul pole, Nicholas Castellanos hit a two-run homer, and Detroit averted a sweep with a victory over Boston.

Yankees 10, Orioles 3.

Starlin Castro also homered for the third straight game when he followed Judge's first homer with a two-run shot.

"Obviously, you tip your cap", Scioscia said.

Severino went on to give up just two hits over seven innings. "When the team is doing that up and down the lineup, good things will happen".

"When you're that tall, the strike zone is bigger". Castillo has been on the 10-day DL since May 31 with a testicular injury. They're 10-20 on the road. Schmidt, 21, was 4-2 with a 1.34 ERA while holding opponents to a.194 average at the University of SC before undergoing Tommy John surgery in April. "Guess what? There's a game tomorrow, and we've got to be ready for another team".

Before we get to Mr. Judge, let's heap some praise on El Gary Sanchez.

Angels starter Alex Meyer gave up two runs and five hits but lasted only 4 2/3 innings, his outing abbreviated because of five walks and a high pitch count (93).

"It was just unacceptable on my part". I think at times he was frustrated by his struggles past year, but he's the same guy who believes in himself, and he's having more success so there's probably more high fives.

"I wasn't really thinking about it, to be honest", Judge said of the MVP chants. Batters are hitting.336 off Tillman in 2017, which is his career-worst by a large margin. The two hits and walk came after he struck out his first two at-bats.

While the Yankees are hitting well, Gausman blamed himself. I suppose that's more important than scoring eight runs. Baltimore did collect two more hits in the inning, including one from former Met Ruben Tejada, but the lefty limited the damage. They've been demolished 104-56 during that 14-game stretch. Believe it or not, those good times were happening just earlier this week.

Obviously giving up 14 or more runs on consecutive days doesn't bode well for the pitching staff. He has allowed 27 runs and 11 homers over his last 22 2/3 innings. "I don't see why I wouldn't. We're kind of getting into the who area now".

The next time the Baltimore Orioles and Boston Red Sox meet, summer will be winding down and football season will nearly be here. Manny Machado did not play due to a sore left wrist and may miss a third straight game Saturday.

"He hit off the tee. Next step is to take some batting practice tomorrow", Showalter said. "I'm happy to get the results I got today". It's a step forward. Playing the hot hand isn't always the right strategy, either - waiting for Gardner to get out of his slump has served the Yankees well. The slider, the changeup was really good. That's about as much of an update without guessing. We've seen good splits.

DOUBLE IT UP: The Orioles had their biggest inning of the weekend in the third.

Aaron Judge scored from first with a headfirst slide on Matt Holliday's double off the left-center fence.
