NEW YORK — Aaron Judge became the first player in Yankees history with two three-homer games in one season, and New York cruised to a 7-1 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks. Arizona's five-game winning streak was snapped, and the Diamondbacks' lead over the Chicago Cubs for the second of three NL wild-card spots was reduced to one game. Judge hit a three-run shot in the third inning and a two-run drive in the fifth off rookie starter Brandon Pfaadt. The slugger got his third homer with a solo drive off Slade Cecconi in the seventh. It was the second career three-homer game for Judge — both in the past month. He finished 4 for 4 with a double and tied a career high with six RBIs.
