Soto, Judge and Stanton homer in same game with Yankees for 1st time during 9
NEW YORK (AP) — Juan Soto homered and drove in five runs, Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton also went deep and the New York Yankees beat the Houston Astros 9-4 on Wednesday night.
It was the first time the power trio all connected in the same game for the Yankees, who won their fifth straight and improved to 6-0 against the Astros this season.
“That certainly puts a smile on your face when those three guys do that,” New York manager Aaron Boone said.
Stanton hit a 119.9 mph rocket into the second deck that was the hardest-hit ball in the majors this year.
“We all know how capable we are and when you have nights like that, it’s great,” Soto said.
New York starter Carlos Rodón (3-2) bounced back from his worst outing of the season last week in Baltimore. He allowed two runs and seven hits in 6 1/3 innings, earning a nice hand from the home crowd.
