Juan Soto homered and drove in five runs, Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton also went deep and the New York Yankees beat the Houston Astros 9-4 on Wednesday night.
It was the first time the power trio all connected in the same game for the Yankees, who won their fifth straight and improved to 6-0 against the Astros this season.
New York starter Carlos Rodón bounced back from his worst outing of the season last week in Baltimore. He allowed two runs and seven hits in 6 1/3 innings, earning a nice hand from the home crowd.Soto launched a two-run homer on the first pitch he saw in the first inning. He connected for a 440-foot drive on a fastball from Houston rookie Spencer Arrighetti , sending his 10th homer off an advertisement at the back of the Astros’ bullpen in left-center field.
It was Stanton's third hardest-hit homer since Statcast tracking began in 2015, and it came one night after he launched a 118.8 mph homer off New York beat the Astros for the ninth straight time dating to last year. The season series concludes Thursday at Yankee Stadium.
