NEW YORK — Three big swings by Aaron Judge resulted in a costly loss for the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Judge became the first player in Yankees history with two three-homer games in one season Friday night as New York cruised to a 7-1 victory over the Diamondbacks.
Arizona's five-game winning streak was snapped, and the Diamondbacks' lead over the Chicago Cubs for the second of three NL wild-card spots was reduced to one game. Arizona fell to 1-7 against New York teams this season after dropping six of seven to the Mets.
"You can't make mistakes to him," Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said.
