Aaron Judge Just Hit 3 Homers in Two Games and the Yankees Still Can't Shake the Chaos
Aaron Judge went nuclear on Monday night, but even his power surge couldn't save the Yankees from one of the most stressful wins of the early season. New York finally snapped a five-game losing streak with an 11-10 thriller against the Angels, thanks to a wild pitch in the ninth inning that scored Jose Caballero. Judge hammered a two-run shot in the first and a solo bomb in the sixth to break a 7-7 tie. He's now got three of his six homers on the year in just the past two games.
Judge Is Swinging Like He Has Something to Prove
At 11-for-36 over his last 10 games, Judge knows the Yankees are in rough waters early. "Every good team goes through at least two big losing streaks," he said after the win. "So hopefully we can get this one out of the way." The fact that New York is 3-6 in games decided by two runs or less tells you everything about how tight things have been. Judge isn't the only one heating up though. Trent Grisham went absolutely wild, hitting a pinch-hit three-run bomb in the sixth and a tying two-run shot in the ninth to keep the Yankees alive.

Mike Trout went absolutely ballistic on Monday, launching two homers of his own to nearly carry Los Angeles to the win. After entering the series hitting just .208, Trout hammered a tying three-run shot off Jake Bird in the sixth, then added a two-run blast off Camilo Doval in the eighth to give the Angels a 10-8 lead. The Angels collected 12 hits total and Trout now has four homers and 12 RBIs this season. "It was definitely one of the better games," Trout said of the loss. "Just a fun one to be a part of. Obviously the loss is disappointing, but we battled back and had great at-bats the whole game."
Neither team will rest long. Ryan Weathers takes the mound Tuesday for the Yankees against Angels lefty Reid Detmers as the series continues. Weathers is looking to bounce back after allowing one run on seven hits over eight innings in a recent outing, while Detmers is chasing his first win as a starter since September 2024.
