Aaron Judge Blasts Two Homers as Yankees Offense Comes Alive to Pound A’s

Stroman threw 74 pitches, 42 for strikes, and walked two batters. 

Though he didn’t need the help, Stroman received plenty of run support from his lineup, scoring six runs versus Athletics starter Luis Severino.

Judge added his 30th homer in the eighth inning, going 2-for-4 with four RBI. 

Yankees Hold Off Mets, Snap Six-Game Losing Streak

But clutch heroics by Aaron Judge and Cody Bellinger helped the Yankees survive the Mets’ furious comeback bid, snap a six-game losing streak and prevent a sweep at Citi Field.

Judge homered, drove in three runs and made a lead-preserving diving catch in the sixth inning of the Yankees’ 6-4 win.

Bellinger’s sensational shoestring catch on a Juan Soto line drive, meanwhile, turned into a rally-killing double play in the seventh.

The win was the Yankees’ seventh in their last 23 games, a stretch that included two separate six-game losing skids.

Overall, the Yankees and Mets split their six head-to-head games this season, with the Yankees taking two of three during their series in the Bronx in May.

Mets With MLB Record-Tying 7 Solo Homers, 2 From Juan Soto, In Win Over Phillies

Juan Soto

Facing a streak of seven straight losses, the Mets offense posted seven homers, all solo, in an 11-4 win to move back into a tie with Philadelphia at the top of the NL East. Their record is 46-31.

Those seven solo homers tied the Mets with six other teams for the most in a game in MLB history. Only three of those teams hit only solo homers, like the Mets, who got long balls from Juan Soto twice, Brandon Nimmo twice, Francisco Lindor, Jared Young and Francisco Alvarez.

Three of those came in consecutive fashion in the third inning.

It was a big game for Soto in particular, going 4 for 5 with two homers and four RBI. It was his eighth career game with double-digit total bases, putting him in some elite company given his age.

The Oklahoma City Thunder Win The NBA Championship After Defeating Indiana Pacers In Winner-Take-All Game 7

Oklahoma City capped a thrilling NBA Finals Sunday night with a dominant second half in Game 7 to secure a 103-91 win over the Indiana Pacers and the franchise’s first NBA title since it moved from Seattle to Oklahoma City in 2008.

A Pacers team that rallied for multiple unlikely wins throughout the playoffs kept pressure on in the fourth quarter after digging a 22-point hole. But without injured star Tyrese Haliburton, they couldn’t complete the comeback.

The win caps a brilliant season in which the Thunder posted a league-best 68 wins and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was named league MVP for the first time. Gilgeous-Alexander powered the Thunder effort Sunday night to put away a Pacers team that pushed them to the brink.

The swarming defense that has become Oklahoma City’s trademark took over after halftime as the Thunder repeatedly turned Pacers turnovers into transition points.

For the game, Oklahoma City won the turnover battle 21-7 while securing 14 steals. The result was a 32-10 advantage in points off turnovers for the Thunder.

The game was marred by a significant injury to Haliburton in the first quarter. Haliburton had hit three quick 3s and appeared on pace for a big game with a team-high nine points early on. But Haliburton fell to the floor injuring his leg and could not return.
