Boone gave the game ball to Judge, who reached base four times and scored two runs. Judge said he was sad that the A\u00b4s are leaving Oakland, reminiscing on memories as both a player and a kid when he made a few trips to the Coliseum.<\/p>\n
“There\u00b4s a lot of history in this building,” Judge said. “You can go back to the ’70s, what they were able to do here three years in a row. A lot of special players played here, and just getting a chance to be on that same field and do some things – it\u00b4s definitely something I won\u00b4t forget.”<\/p>\n
Judge already holds the AL single-season home run record he set with 62 in 2022 and moved ahead of Babe Ruth (1920, 1928), Mickey Mantle (1961) and Alex Rodriguez (2007) for fifth-most in franchise history. Judge has given the Yankees a lead with a home run 23 times this season.<\/p>\n
A’s manager Mark Kotsay said that Judge has his MVP vote and called the Yankees “one of the better teams we\u00b4ve run into.”<\/p>\n
“That team showed why they have the record they do, why they\u00b4re going to the postseason,” Kotsay said. “They pretty much played really good baseball. They pitched really well and they had the timely hitting, the big hits and they showed their power today and this series.”<\/p>\n
Dom\u00ednguez tied the score at 2-2 with a two-run drive in the second. Judge followed in the third and Torres hit a solo shot to lead off the fifth off Joey Estes (7-9). Jazz Chisholm Jr. had a sacrifice fly later in the inning for a 5-2 lead.<\/p>\n
Tyler Soderstrom and Ryan Noda each had two-run doubles for the A\u00b4s. Giancarlo Stanton doubled in a run in the seventh after Oakland closed to 5-4.<\/p>\n
Lu\u00eds Gil (15-6) won his third straight decision, allowing four runs, five hits and three walks in 5 1\/3 innings. Luke Weaver got five outs for his fourth save.<\/p>\n
Gil said he was “extremely happy and satisfied” to reach 15 wins as a rookie and thankful for the run support on Sunday.<\/p>\n
“Even if the opposing team scores a thousand runs, I want to keep giving my team a shot,” Gil said in Spanish, through an interpreter. “Because I know that those guys are going to be able to come back and score.”<\/p>\n
Oakland’s Lawrence Butler went 0 for 5, ending his league-leading streak of reaching base safely at 27 straight games.<\/p>\n
