Aaron Judge, Max Fried help Yankees snap six-game skid, beat Mets

NEW YORK--Aaron Judge hit his 33rd home run of the season and finished with three RBIs to help the New York Yankees end a six-game losing streak with a 6-4 win against the host New York Mets on Sunday.

Yankees starting pitcher Max Fried (11-2) gave up three runs on six hits and struck out five before he was lifted after facing one batter in the sixth inning.

The Mets had their four-game winning streak snapped. Chris Devenski started a bullpen game for the Mets, allowing one hit in two frames before giving way to Zach Pop (0-1).

Trailing 5-0 in the fifth, the Mets started to chip away. Jeff McNeil, Hayden Senger and Starling Marte each connected for a one-out single to load the bases. Francisco Lindor then followed with a base hit that brought McNeil and Senger home to cut it to 5-2.

They tightened the gap in the sixth. Fried gave way to reliever Jonathan Loaisiga after a sweeper caught Brandon Nimmo on the back to open the frame. Ronny Maurico and Brett Baty then each pinch-hit singles, with Baty's loading the bases with nobody out. Nimmo scored on a McNeil single that moved Mauricio to third, and Mauricio came around when Senger grounded into a double play to narrow it to 5-4.

The Yankees made it 6-4 in the top of the seventh when Judge's sacrifice fly to deep left field brought in Paul Goldschmidt.

The Yankees took 1-0 lead in the top of the third inning when Austin Wells launched a sinker into the upper deck in right field off Pop, who took over for Devenski to start the frame.

Giancarlo Stanton led off the fourth with a double, Cody Bellinger singled and Anthony Volpe's fielder's choice grounder drove in Stanton to make it 2-0.

Volpe stole second with DJ LeMahieu at the plate, went to third on LeMahieu's single, and scored to push it to 3-0 on when Wells grounded into a forceout.

Judge's home run extended it to 5-0 in the top of the fifth. With Goldschmidt on, Judge knocked a first-pitch changeup just over the wall in left-center.
