Aaron Judge became the second-fastest player in major league history to reach 200 career home runs, and the Yankees beat the Royals on Saturday.
Whit Merrifield had a third-inning double for his 1,000th career hit and Salvador Perez had a sacrifice fly for the Royals, who have lost five straight.
"I feel like the big numbers, it's always tough to get past those," Judge said."To get that out of the way, plus a win, is pretty sweet." "I can't imagine a person more equipped to go through something like that," Boone said of Judge."I know, at his core, what he's about and that's this team and us winning and nothing will get in the way of that."
Heasley , who was reinstated from the injured list prior to the game after missing 17 games with right shoulder tendonitis, allowed six runs over 3 1/3 innings in his first start since July 9.
