New York Explodes For Five As Aaron Judge Hits His 19th Home Run Of The Season

 New York had no trouble scoring runs Saturday as New York exploded for five homers as they took on Baltimore.

Luis Severino was stellar in his outing against Baltimore as he permitted two hits while striking out eight in an electric performance while rookie right fielder Aaron Judge hit his nineteenth home run of the season that was one of five homers hit by New York.

Luis Severino retired the first 12 men he faced before issuing a walk to open the fifth inning. Trey Mancini stroked a one-out single two batters later to break up Severino's no-hit bid. Baltimore was unable to mount any semblance of a response after Judge and Didi Gregorius homered in a six-run first inning, helping the Yanks win their fourth straight.

Luis Severino had this to say about his outing. 

When you go out there and you've got six runs in one inning, you just have to make pitches and throw strikes," Severino said. "You just want to go there and attack and throw your good pitches." "according to http://m.yankees.mlb.com/news/article/235605950/yankees-hit-5-hrs-behind-luis-severino/

Over Luis Severino's last five starts, he is 3-0 with a 1.35 ERA, holding opponents to five earned runs in 33 1/3 innings. "according to http://m.yankees.mlb.com/news/article/235605950/yankees-hit-5-hrs-behind-luis-severino/

Meanwhile, Aaron Judge's blast was the hardest hit in the Statcast™ era, calculated at 121.1 mph. The rookie slugger finished the evening 3-for-4 with a double, homer, three runs scored and three RBIs, and now owns each of the four hardest-hit balls in the Majors this year.

As for the New York offense they sent 10 men to the plate in the first against Chris Tillman, who permitted nine runs in 1 1/3 innings before being chased by Starlin Castro's three-run homer. Matt Holliday and Sanchez later went deep, as every Yankees starter had at least one hit. "according to http://m.yankees.mlb.com/news/article/235605950/yankees-hit-5-hrs-behind-luis-severino/

Aaron Judge had this to say about the New York offense" We're just not missing our pitch," Judge said. "We're battling, we're getting deep into counts, and when they leave something over the middle, we're doing some damage. When the team is doing that up and down the lineup, good things will happen."http://m.yankees.mlb.com/news/article/235605950/yankees-hit-5-hrs-behind-luis-severino/

As for the Baltimore offense, Chris Davis and Joey Rickard homered for the O's, who have lost eight straight road games, their longest such skid since 2010. "according to http://m.yankees.mlb.com/news/article/235605950/yankees-hit-5-hrs-behind-luis-severino/

New York improved to 36-23 while Baltimore dropped to 31-29 on the season. They will finish up their series Sunday at Yankee Stadium.

New York right - hander Chad Green will make the start for New York. He has a record of 0-0 with a 1.62 earn run average. He was tabbed for Sunday's spot start after retiring all 10 men he faced in his last relief outing against Boston. He made three appearances that included two starts against Baltimore a year ago. In those starts, he has a record of 0-1 with an 8.31 earn run average. He will go up against Baltimore right-hander Kevin Gausman who has a record of 3-4 with a 5.86 earn run average.
