Judge homers, Stanton goes 4 for 5 with a homer, as Yankees rout Twins 9

Aaron Judge hit his first homer in nearly three weeks, Giancarlo Stanton had his first four-hit game in almost two years, and the New York Yankees routed the Minnesota Twins 9-1 on Tuesday night.

Carlos Rodón (12-7) allowed one hit in seven innings, a leadoff single to Austin Martin, and cruised after a 31-pitch first. He became the first Yankee to complete seven innings since the left-hander pitched eight against the Cubs on July 11.

Stanton went 4 for 5 for his first four-hit game since Aug. 24, 2023, against Washington. He doubled in his first at-bat, homered in the fifth and singled in his final two at-bats before getting lifted for a pinch runner following a two-run single.

Judge homered for the first time since July 23 when he hit a drive off Minnesota rookie starter Travis Adams
