CLEVELAND, Ohio (WOIO) - The New York Yankees jumped on Luis Ortiz for 4 early runs and salvaged the finale of the 3-game series Wednesday, stopping the Guardians 5-1 at Progressive Field. Ortiz (2-3) allowed 5 hits and 5 walks while striking out eight. Paul Goldschmidt led New York with 3 hits and 2 RBI.

1. Judge’s .400 Chase Aaron Judge had four of the Yankees’ six hits in Tuesday night’s 3-2 loss, raising his batting average to .411. He’s reached base multiple times in 13 of his last 15 games and is fueling early speculation about the first .400 season since Ted Williams hit .406 in 1941.

Carlos Rodón pitched seven strong innings, Paul Goldschmidt drove in two runs and Aaron Judge raised his major league-leading average to .415 as the New York Yankees beat the Cleveland Guardians 5-1 to avoid a series sweep.
