Judge hitless in return but Yankees clinch 34th straight winning season with
5-3 win over Rockies
By LARRY FLEISHER
Associated Press
NEW YORK (AP) --- Aaron Judge went hitless in his return from the injured list
but Cam Schlittler struck out 10 in seven innings as the New York Yankees beat
the Colorado Rockies 5-3 on Tuesday night to clinch their 34th straight winning
season.
In his first appearance since May 31 after missing 84 games with a broken rib,
Judge struck out swinging with a runner on in the first inning, flied out in
the fourth and took a called third strike in the sixth.
He was replaced in right field in the seventh, as planned.
Facing the Rockies for the first time since Colorado traded him to New York in
July 2025, Ryan McMahon hit a tiebreaking double against rookie Gabriel Hughes
(0-7) off the bottom of the right-field wall in the fifth for the Yankees
(82-62). New York's streak of winning seasons is the second-longest in the four
major sports behind the Yankees' 39 in a row from 1926-64.
Heliot Ramos added a three-run homer in the eighth, one inning after entering
for Judge.
Hunter Goodman hit his 37th homer, a two-run drive off Tim Hill with two outs
in the ninth, before David Bednar struck out Mickey Moniak on three pitches for
his 32nd save in 35 chances.
New York stayed four games behind first-place Tampa Bay in the AL East and
moved three ahead of Boston for the top American League wild card.
Schlittler (13-6) allowed one run and three hits with no walks while reaching
double-digit strikeouts for the fourth time this year.
The right-hander lowered his AL-best ERA to 2.01. He's permitted no more than
one run in 20 starts this season, most in the majors and a Yankees record.
Adael Amador homered in the third for Colorado.
Cody Bellinger scored for the Yankees in the first when left fielder Jake
McCarthy committed two errors on a single by Luis Garca Jr. McCarthy allowed
the ball to bounce off his glove, then kicked it and was charged with a
throwing error when the ball bounced past Goodman at the plate.
Jos Caballero entered at second base with one out in the ninth for Jazz
Chisholm Jr., who jammed his right thumb on a headfirst slide in the eighth.
