Aaron Judge hit his major league-leading ninth homer, Luke Voit hit a three-run homer and the New York Yankees recorded a 9-6 victory over the Atlanta Braves on Tuesday night to remain unbeaten at home.
Starting a stretch where they will not leave New York until Aug. 25, the Yankees improved to 5-0 at Yankee Stadium. It is the fifth time since 1989 the Yankees opened up 5-0 at home or better.
The Yankees held a 6-0 lead when Judge hammered a 2-1 fastball off Bryse Wilson over the right-center field fence. The 432-foot blast soared over New York's bullpen mound and hit off an advertisement in the back of the bullpen.
