Yankees hit season-high six home runs, blow out Chicago Cubs

NEW YORK – Aaron Judge revved up the Yankee Stadium crowd less than 15 minutes into the game Saturday night.

Before long, his teammates took their turn trying to one-up the league's home run leader.

And by the end of the night, the Bronx Bombers had folks rushing to the record book.

All told, the Yankees flexed their muscle by crushing a season-high six home runs in an 8-0 victory over the Chicago Cubs. Left-hander Jordan Montgomery allowed five hits over seven shutout innings after getting an unusual amount of run support.

"Just a great environment to play in here in Yankee Stadium," manager Aaron Boone said.
