Aaron Judge hit his fifth homer of the week and Anthony Rizzo also went deep as the visiting New York Yankees recorded a 6-2 victory over the Cincinnati Reds on Friday night.
Coming off a highly charged four-game series in Toronto, the Yankees won for the 12th time in 17 games.
Kyle Higashioka added a two-run double in the ninth after slamming his bat on the bat rack in frustration for a strikeout with two on in the seventh. Harrison Bader contributed an RBI single for a four-run lead after entering as a pinch hitter in the eighth. New York's Clarke Schmidt earlier was checked twice for sticky substances and rebounded from his worst start of the season to get his second career win as a starter. Schmidt allowed two runs on five hits in five-plus innings while striking out six and walking two.
Cincinnati's Ben Lively allowed two runs on two hits in 5 2/3 innings in his first start since April 26, 2018, for Philadelphia. Lively retired 16 straight before walking Judge ahead of Rizzo's homer.
