MLB.com | Bryan Hoch: Aaron Judge made history in the first inning of New York’s Sunday afternoon loss to the White Sox. Judge got the scoring started with a solo home run, the 358th of his career, tying him with the iconic Yogi Berra for fifth all-time in the franchise’s home run records It capped off a hot ending to what was a cold month for Judge, who struggled after coming back from a flexor strain as the DH only. This was his second straight game with a bomb, and he came a triple short of the cycle
in Sunday’s contest.
NY Post | Greg Joyce: Luis Gil is the wild card of the Yankees’ playoff pusb. He’s fresh having not pitched in so long, but he’s also finding his footing after shaking off the rust from such a long holdover. His latest outing on Sunday showed major promise, as he gave up two runs in 5.1 innings with seven strikeouts, but he did have to intentionally hold back on his velocity at the start to establish the strike zone before heating up and raising the velo throughout the night. For now, its worked out for Gil as he’s done this in two straight starts, but its something to monitor as the stretch run plays out.
New York Daily News | Bill Madden: The Yankees and Mets have had similarly frustrating years at the same time, marking a rare point where both are underperforming while also both being on pace to still make the postseason. While neither one has done enough to earn the title of favorites for the Commissioner’s Trophy, they’ve elevated their standings recently and have a lot of young contributors to thank for the late-season boost.
