Judge’s home run traveled 424 feet to center field, his 41st of the season, while Bellinger followed with a 410-foot hit, his number 25 of 2025. Nationals’ opener Cade Cavalli faced eight batters before being punished with a three-run home run by Ryan McMahon, which definitively removed him from the mound after allowing eight runs (seven earned). In total, the Yankees sent 15 batters to the plate in that inning, achieving eight hits, three walks, and even a catcher interference play that prolonged the attack. The offensive included a second home run by Ben Rice in the same inning, becoming the third time this season that New York has hit four home runs in a single inning, a historical record in Major League Baseball. “It was impressive, that’s called hitting,” said manager Aaron Boone after the game. Judge, for his part, highlighted the team’s mentality: “We all had good at-bats, passing the baton without trying to do too much.” Starting pitcher Max Fried (14-5) earned the victory after a solid performance on the mound, backed by an offense that already has 10 home runs in its last three games. With this result, the Yankees closed the series with a sweep over Washington and extended to 11 wins in their last 15 games, consolidating themselves as one of the hottest teams in the American League.
