The New York Yankees powered past the Kansas City Royals 8-2 Saturday.
The Yankees hit 3 home runs. Andrew Judge hit his 42nd home run of the season, a 2-run home run in the 2nd inning.
He also became the 2nd fastest player to reach 200 career home runs.
His 200th homer came in his 671st career game, behind just Philadelphia’s Ryan Howard, who achieved the feat in 2009 in 658 games.
Royals pitchers also walked 7 batters and the Royals committed 3 errors. Whit Merrifield did collect his 1000th career hit.
Royals Manager Mike Matheny said they had chances but made too many mistakes.
