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.
