Tanaka built off one of his best outings of the season with another solid performance, holding the White Sox to two runs over six innings on 101 pitches. He got out of a bases-loaded jam in the second unscathed before allowing a pair of runs in the fifth on Melky Cabrera's  bases-loaded single, but Tanaka rebounded by striking out the side in his final frame.

The right-hander Masahiro Tanaka had this to say about his outing. I don't think it's just these two outings, I think my stuff was getting better a little bit before that," said Tanaka, who picked up his first victory since May 8 at Cincinnati. "I think I'm getting the results now, and that's always a good thing." "according to http://m.yankees.mlb.com/news/article/239398982/yankees-beat-white-sox-behind-judge-andujar/

New York blew the game open in a five-run sixth inning that included RBI doubles from Tyler Wade- his first career hit -- and Ronald Torreyes before Judge launched a two-run laser into the left-field bleachers.

Didi Gregorius also contributed a two-run homer while  Andujar smacked a two-run double in the ninth off Michael Yona to cap the explosion, handing the White Sox the eighth loss in their last 10 games. Andujar finished with three hits and four RBIs. "according to http://m.yankees.mlb.com/news/article/239398982/yankees-beat-white-sox-behind-judge-andujar/

Miguel Andujar had this to say about his debut. "It was awesome, especially Andujar coming up big," Judge said. "Just incredible. Your first Major League at-bat, you're coming up bases loaded. He acted like a veteran out there. He seemed like he'd been there before. It's fun to watch." "according to http://m.yankees.mlb.com/news/article/239398982/yankees-beat-white-sox-behind-judge-andujar/

Meanwhile White Sox left-hander Carlos Rodon struggled with command in his first outing of the year, walking six and passing Edinson Volquez of the Marlins for the most pitches thrown this season while having more balls than strikes with 41 strikes out of his 93 pitches. Despite Rodon's erratic performance -- including a three-run first inning --, he was able to settle in and toss five innings while allowing just three unearned runs. "according to http://m.yankees.mlb.com/news/article/239398982/yankees-beat-white-sox-behind-judge-andujar/

"Great stuff, great life, but the goal is to put it in the zone and let them swing it to get guys out early," Rodon said. "That's not what happened. I'll get back to that. I was going a little fast in the first, but it was good to be out there. Next time out, it'll hopefully be a little better. Arm feels good, body feels good, all you can ask for." "according to http://m.yankees.mlb.com/news/article/239398982/yankees-beat-white-sox-behind-judge-andujar/

With the win, New York is now has a record of 42-34 and is tied with their American League East rival Boston who has a record of 43-35 on the season.
