Aaron Judge became the first big leaguer with 40 homers this season, smashed a grand slam for No. 41 and robbed a home run in right field as the Yankees rallied to beat the Royals on Friday night.
Judge, Maris and Babe Ruth in 1928 are the only Yankees with at least 40 homers by the end of July, per MLB.com.
Salvador Perez followed Merrifield with a go-ahead, three-run homer in his return from the injured list for a 5-3 lead. Andrew Benintendi's bases-loaded grounder was gloved by diving first baseman Nick Pratto, but pitcher Scott Barlow failed to cover first, giving Benintendi an RBI single — his first hit with the Yankees after a trade from the Royals on Wednesday.
Cole was overpowering — except for the fifth inning. He was pulled after six with nine strikeouts and no walks. Five of the seven hits he allowed came in the fifth, and all five runs charged against him came in the inning.Perez, last year's major league home run champion, batted third as the designated hitter barely a month after surgery to repair a torn ligament in his left thumb.
