NEW YORK—Aaron Judge hit a two-run home run in the first inning after Oakland starting pitcher Joe Boyle had been called for a balk on the previous pitch, and the New York Yankees went on to a 7–3 victory over the Athletics on Wednesday night.

Anthony Rizzo and Juan Soto also homered as the Yankees won for the fifth time in their past seven games and improved to 10–1 in their past 11 against Oakland in the Bronx.
