Yankees go deep to beat Pirates, 7-4
The New York Yankees lived up to their Bronx Bombers nickname Sunday by blasting five home runs – including a pair by Aaron Judge – to beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 7-4 in a Grapefruit League game in Tampa, Fla.
Three of those homers came off Pirates starter Jose Quintana, who got knocked around for the second straight start.
Quintana managed to get three innings in the books but gave up two other hits in addition to the three that left the yard. In two starts thus far, Quintana has given up 11 hits and nine runs – all earned – in five innings to go with a pair of walks and three strikeouts.
Josh Donaldson, Kyle Higashioka and Judge all homered off Quintana.
