Aaron Judge stayed hot at the plate over the weekend, creeping up to 33 home runs on the season before the New York Yankees have even hit the All-Star break.

NEW YORK (AP) — Aaron Judge hit his 33rd home run, left fielder Cody Bellinger started a pivotal double play and the New York Yankees stopped a six-game losing streak by beating the Mets 6-4 Sunday to avoid a weekend Subway Series sweep.

The New York Yankees released two-time MLB batting champion DJ LeMahieu, ending his seven-year tenure with the team, they announced Thursday.

New York Knicks forward/guard Josh Hart decided to cause chaos on Saturday by taking a side in the great New York Yankees and New York Mets debate. There will never be a "true" New York baseball team, but Hart decided to stir up some trouble anyhow by declaring that New York is a "Yankee city."

First-inning walks to Lindor and Alonso sandwiched Juan Soto's sacrifice bunt before Nimmo — without even finishing his swing — connected for his fourth career slam. It was his third of the season, matching a Mets record, and his third home run in four games.

The New York Yankees, led by Aaron Judge, face the New York Mets, led by Juan Soto, on Friday, July 4, 2025 (7/4/25) at Citi Field in Queens, New York. They will also play on Saturday and Sunday.
