Gleyber Torres hit a leadoff homer, Aaron Judge made a spectacular defensive play and the New York Yankees beat Washington 5-2 on Monday night to spoil the major league debut of prized Nationals prospect Dylan Crews.
Judge added his 1,000th career hit as New York won for the fifth time in six games, moving two ahead of idle Baltimore atop the AL East.“Coming out of the homestand, starting the road trip, throwing an early punch there right away, that was big," Yankees manager Aaron Boone said about Torres' home run."He’s obviously doing a great job in the leadoff spot. I feel like that first at-bat, he’s not sacrificing aggression, but he’s also having a lot of long, patient at-bats.
Torres hit his second homer in two games — his first two in August — to open the first inning. His 12th homer of the year was a 366-foot line drive down the left-field line offTorres has reached base safely in 21 straight games, one shy of the longest streak of his career set in 2019.worked a perfect ninth for his 28th save. The Yankees have won 42 road games this year, most in the majors.
“It’s a great accomplishment,” Judge said. “It’s a blessing to play in this game long enough to get that milestone — but more work to be done.” “Judge, we’ll call it his 52nd homer of the year," Boone said."He’s really good at this stuff. The night they keep him in the ballpark, he takes one back from the other side. Just a little reminder of how many other things he does well.”
