NEW YORK — Aaron Judge hit his major league-leading 58th home run, going deep for the fifth straight game to help the New York Yankees clinch their second AL East title in three years with a 10-1 win over the Baltimore Orioles. Giancarlo Stanton had four RBIs that included his 27th homer, Alex Verdugo also homered and Gerrit Cole outpitched Corbin Burnes in a possible postseason preview. Judge and Stanton homered in the same game for the 14th time this year, tying Mickey Mantle and Roger Maris in 1961 for the most in Yankees history. New York assured itself a first-round bye.
