NEW YORK — Juan Soto homered and drove in five runs, Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton also went deep and the New York Yankees beat the Houston Astros 9-4. It was the first time the power trio all connected in the same game for the Yankees, who won their fifth straight and improved to 6-0 against the Astros this season. Stanton hit a 119.9 mph rocket into the second deck at Yankee Stadium that was the hardest-hit ball in the majors this year. New York starter Carlos Rodón bounced back from his worst outing of the season last week in Baltimore. He allowed two runs in 6 1/3 innings. Kyle Tucker and Jeremy Peña homered for the Astros, who lost their fourth in a row and dropped to 12-24.
