Aaron Judge hit his 53rd home run as he continues to chase the 60 home run mark for the second time in his career. Here’s everything you missed from last night’s MLB action.
New York Yankees 5, Boston Red Sox 2
The Yankees won the series against the Boston Red Sox in what turned out to be a relatively chippy four games. Aaron Judge swatted his 53rd home run of the season in a three-run third inning.
Arizona Diamondbacks 11, Milwaukee Brewers 10
In another high-scoring affair, the Diamondbacks were able to come out on top. The Brewers scored two in the top of the tenth inning, but Eugenio Suárez delivered a walk-off single with the bases loaded in the bottom of the frame.

Houston Astros 6, Los Angeles Angels 4
The Astros completed the sweep of the Angels behind a great game from Jason Heyward. Heyward went 3-3 with two RBIs. He hit a solo home run in the top of the third inning to put the Astros on the board.
Chicago Cubs 6, Colorado Rockies 2
The Cubs got some big insurance runs in the ninth inning to avoid the sweep. Instead of a late game collapse for the third straight game, the Cubs hit two home runs in the ninth to go up by five runs.
Michael Busch again!!! He continues his breakout rookie year!!#cubspic.twitter.com/gG6Shp1psx

Minnesota Twins 9, Cincinnati Reds 2
After a 10-run loss on Saturday, the Twins offense showed up on Sunday. They scored nine runs on 12 hits, including three from Carlos Santana. Santana ended the game a triple shy of the cycle.
Chicago White Sox 4, Oakland Athletics 3
The White Sox offense got to JP Sears with four earned runs on seven hits. A three-run first inning proved too much for the A’s to overcome.
Los Angeles Dodgers 9, Braves 2
The Dodgers salvaged the series with a seven-run ninth inning. The Dodgers tagged closer Raisel Iglesias for five earned runs on four hits to jump ahead.
How does he hit that??#MLB https://t.co/ZgJRMPknVK

Cleveland Guardians 2, Tampa Bay Rays 0
The Rays offense struggled for the second consecutive game, this time being shut out. The Guardians scored two runs, which was enough offense to split the series with the Rays.
Toronto Blue Jays 3, St. Louis Cardinals 2
The Cardinals offense out-hit the Blue Jays, but it wasn’t enough. In a 2-2 game, Nathan Lukes hit a RBI double to take the lead. Chad Green came in and picked up his 17th save.

Washington Nationals 4, Miami Marlins 3
After an early 1-0 lead, the Marlins gave up two runs in the fourth inning. The Nationals never gave up the lead. The Marlins offense was unable to deliver the big hit, going 1-7 with runners in scoring position.
Philadelphia Phillies 2, New York Mets 1
The Phillies won the series in dramatic fashion. After being down 1-0 in the eighth inning, they were able to tie things up in the bottom of the frame. In the ninth inning, J.T. Realmuto delivered a two-out single to walk off the Mets.
And the Mets lose in walk-off fashion to the Phillies!!#RingTheBell pic.twitter.com/gWXdDYEAiI

Pittsburgh Pirates 4, Kansas City Royals 3
The Pirates were able to ride a big game at the plate from Isiah Kiner-Falefa to a win. Kiner-Falefa went 3-5 with three RBIs in the Pirates win.
Detroit Tigers 4, Baltimore Orioles 2
The Tigers continued their stretch of strong pitching. They held the Orioles to just two runs. Cade Povic struck out eight in his five innings of work.
Seattle Mariners 7, Texas Rangers 0
The Mariners completed the sweep by shutting out the Rangers in game three. George Kirby went seven innings and allowed just one hit. It was the only hit for the Rangers in the contest.
San Diego Padres 4, San Francisco Giants 3
The Giants could finally score runs against the Padres in this series. Heliot Ramos became the first right-handed hitter to hit a home run into McCovey Cove. However, the Padres two-run tenth inning proved enough to win the game.
HISTORY!!! It has finally been done!! A splash hit by a righty!!! #MLB
