Aaron Judge Powers Yankees to 9-7 Victory Over Diamondbacks

Aaron Judge had a standout performance against the Arizona Diamondbacks, hitting his 500th career extra-base hit with a three-run homer and finishing the game with three hits and four RBIs, contributing to the Yankees' 9-7 victory. This milestone places him among the fastest players in Yankees history to reach 500 extra-base hits. Jazz Chisholm Jr. also excelled, adding a two-run homer and showcasing his strong start with four home runs in just six games. Both players are demonstrating impressive offensive capabilities early in the season, with Judge boasting a .379 batting average and Chisholm a .292 average alongside a high strikeout rate. The Yankees have collectively shown explosive offensive strength, scoring 53 runs and hitting 22 home runs in their first six games. Despite the high-scoring nature of the game, the Yankees' pitching remains a concern as they allowed significant runs to the Diamondbacks.
