Judge, the reigning AL Player of the Week after recording a.500/.600/1.000 slash line with three homers, six RBIs and 10 runs in six games last week against the Red Sox and Orioles, finished the night 2-for-4 with a walk. NY (35-23) is 12 games over.500 for the second time this season after opening the series with an 8-2 win on Friday.
Judge is straddling a amusing sort of line right now, 58 games into his rookie season: To skeptical stat-reliant baseball bros like myself, he's right around the upper limits of when a performance stops looking like it could be a flash-in-the-pan small-sample-size dreamland and starts appearing real, but to anyone watching him on the regular this season, there's no need for much doubt. Which is to say: Calling Aaron Judge a real-deal Major League superstar after 58 games might seem premature to some and ruthlessly obvious to others. Hicks is batting.318 after Friday and is enjoying a significant turnaround from a disappointing first season.
"I'm very anxious to finish the process and get back here to start helping these guys", Chapman said through a translator. "I got a lot of at-bats early and was able to keep my swing feeling good, and I think that helped out a lot".
Aaron Nola (3-4) allowed two hits through the first four innings before Kolten Wong led off the fifth for the Cardinals with a double.
They came into Sunday's game tied with Tampa Bay for the Major League Baseball lead in home runs with 98.
Judge, who grew up in Linden, Calif. - almost 400 miles north of Anaheim - blasted a tie-breaking, two-run homer to right field that traveled 438 feet with one out in the eighth inning, enabling the Yankees to beat the Angels 5-3 and increase their winning streak to six on Monday night at Angel Stadium.

Ancel told us a year ago that tech issues were slowing down development , which makes sense when you hear his plans for the game. System 3, as it turns out, is a place where limited resources are viciously warred over by various private enterprises.
NOTES: Baltimore 3B Manny Machado missed his fourth consecutive game with a sore left wrist. Meyer gave up just three base hits (all singles) but did walk four batters while registering the nine punchouts.
"So far", Montgomery said when asked if this was the best start of his young career. "It comes down to who executes a little bit better which they did tonight".
Verdict: Tough battle for JC with Sabathia getting the edge the way he's been pitching as of late. It's going to be that way the rest of the way.
Wow, can you imagine someone hitting a home run more impressive than that only one day later? That was catcher Gary Sanchez, who set baseball alight with 20 homers in 53 games last season. And when he came to bat with a runner in scoring position and two outs in the seventh, the Angels walked him intentionally. The lefty gave up two runs in seven innings as the Yankees beat the Orioles 8-2 in front of a sellout crowd. "Sevy's on the mound tomorrow and let it continue. We're in a really important stretch here; we went out and won the first game of this series tonight, now let's go out and try to build on it". After a pretty good season, Ramirez hasn't done that great in his last two starts, allowed 11 ER in 9.1 innings. One of those starts occurred May 30 in Baltimore when he allowed one run and seven hits in 6 1/3 innings. NY is also 5-1 in Sabathia's last six Tuesday starts, and 5-2 in Sabathia's last seven road starts.
Yankees seventh. Chris Carter strikes out swinging.
HOUSTON - Eric Young Jr. smacked a three-run homer to cap a six-run outburst in the fifth inning that lifted Los Angeles to a victory and a three-game series win over Houston at Minute Maid Park. The last time Tillman used his two-seam fastball was briefly in 2014, throwing the pitch 17 times, holding all five batters hitless. Since his call up he has pitched to a 2-1 record (three starts, four appearances) with a 3.76 ERA and 27 strikeouts.
