Gardner leads off with HR; Judge drills No. 15

NEW YORK -- The top of the Yankees' order supplied the power on Tuesday night against the Astros' Charlie Morton, as Aaron Judge crushed a laser into the second deck in right field leading off the fifth inning.

Judge's solo blast -- his 15th homer of the season -- cut the Yankees' deficit to 5-3 at the time. Brett Gardner hit a leadoff blast to open the first inning, and Gleyber Torres had a run-scoring single in the second inning to drive home the other New York run off Morton.
