Warren Wins in Another Fine Outing for Yankees

Aaron Judge hit a two-run homer, rookie Will Warren struck out a career-high 10 and the New York Yankees beat the Texas Rangers 5-2 on Tuesday night.

Ben Rice also went deep for the Yankees in the opener of a three-game series between the past two American League champions. Anthony Volpe blooped an RBI double after Rice drove in the first two runs.

New York (28-19) has won nine of 12 to move a season-best nine games over .500.

Warren (3-2) allowed five hits and one walk over 5 2/3 innings to win his second consecutive decision.

Yankees LHP Ryan Yarbrough (1-0, 3.70 ERA) pitches Wednesday night against Rangers RHP and two-time NL Cy Young Award Winner, Jacob deGrom (4-1, 2.29).
