KANSAS CITY, Mo. — — Austin Wells hit a three-run homer and finished with five RBI, Aaron Judge hit the third-longest homer in the majors this season, and the New York Yankees routed the Kansas City Royals 10-2 on Tuesday night.
Max Fried (9-1) bounced back from his first loss of the season, pitching seven innings of two-run ball for New York.
Wells homered on a full-count pitch from Noah Cameron (2-2) with two outs in the fourth inning, then added a two-run double in the sixth after a 10-pitch duel with Taylor Clarke. He matched his career high for RBI in a game.
Judge’s two-run homer in the first had an exit velocity of 117.9 mph and traveled 469 feet, landing on the roof of the Royals Hall of Fame in left field.
Cameron wound up allowing six runs and seven hits over 5 2/3 innings. It was the first time in the left-hander’s first six big league starts that he allowed more than one run or failed to make it through six innings.
LHP Kris Bubic (5-3, 1.43 ERA) gets the nod for Kansas City at 6:40.
