Judge's late birthday night helped the Yankees sweep Escarra in the doubles for the first time in his career

Although it was a day late, the second game of the Yankee Stadium Double on Sunday was no problem. Aaron Judge's six-game shoot helped New York beat the Blue Jays 5-1 to complete a double-game sweep. In the opening game, the Yankees beat Blue Jays starter Kevin Gausman 11-2.

Judge, who turned 33 on Saturday, canceled his truce due to the rain and extended his streak of 24 consecutive home runs since April 2 with a double-game 8-3 hit on Sunday. In a 1-1 draw at six games, he blasted his first shot against Chris Bassitt off the right field wall for his eighth hit of the season (a week after the start against the Royals on 16 April). Despite hitting a home run, his batting average is still as high as 0.406.

"He's incredible," said head coach Aaron Boone, "and his mastery of the good ball belt has come to an end." The pitcher must match the ball perfectly, and the slightest mistake will be hit hard. His ability to attack in all directions right now is terrifying. "

The most touching story of the night belongs to the catcher J.C. Escarra. The 29-year-old, who was still driving an Uber and substitute teacher two years ago, hit his career first from Chad Green in eight innings to complete a two-game night. "You can't feel the touch of a bat at all," Escarra choked up, "to get the first hit at Yankee Stadium and play for a team that his family has supported for generations — that's a dream come true." He dedicated the commemorative ball to his father, who is also a Yankees fan, as he did in his previous career.

Regarding what he learned from Judge, Escara concluded: "Keep it constant. There will always be ups and downs in your baseball career, but you have to keep a steady mind and be the best version of yourself. "

On the pitcher side, Clarke Schmidt teamed up with four bullpen pitchers, including new finisher Luke Weaver, to conceded one point on three hits and delivered 12 strikeouts. Weaver sealed the win with three strikeouts in the ninth inning, continuing the perfect performance since taking over the Terminator (4.1 games, 0 points, 7K).
