Aaron Judge homered early and then triggered a seven-run sixth inning with a handy slide, propelling the visiting New York Yankees to a 15-5 rout of the Milwaukee Brewers on Sunday to clinch the three-game series win.
With the game tied 4-4, Judge walked to open the sixth against reliever Abner Uribe (2-2). Alex Verdugo hit a tailor-made double-play bouncer to second, but Willy Adames' relay throw hit Judge's upraised hand, allowing Verdugo to reach.
Crew chief Andy Fletcher later told a pool reporter that they should have called interference on Judge.
"After looking at it on replay, it appears that the call was missed," Fletcher said. "It was an unnatural part of his slide."
Anthony Rizzo walked with two outs and Gleyber Torres singled in Verdugo to make it 5-4. Oswaldo Cabrera walked and Jose Trevino followed with a two-run single. Elvis Peguero relieved Uribe and uncorked a run-scoring wild pitch for an 8-4 Yankees lead. Juan Soto added an RBI single and Judge capped the 11-batter inning with a two-run single.
The Brewers got one back in the bottom half on a bases-loaded walk, but New York answered with two runs in the seventh on Cabrera's RBI single and Trevino's sacrifice fly.
Rizzo's two-run homer, his fifth of the season and 300th of his career, put the Yankees up 15-5 in the eighth. Rizzo went 4-for-4 and scored three runs.
Ron Marinaccio (1-0) picked up the win, giving up one run on one hit in 1 1/3 innings, with one strikeout and one walk.
After dropping the series opener 7-6 in 11 innings, the Yankees scored 30 runs on 37 hits to win the final two games. They had four homers in Saturday's 15-3 rout.
Judge staked the Yankees to a 1-0 lead with two outs in the first with his sixth homer, sending a 3-2 fastball 441 feet to left-center.
Anthony Volpe celebrated his 23rd birthday with his third homer, a three-run shot off starter Tobias Myers, in the top half of the fifth to put the Yankees in front 4-0.
Jake Bauers' three-run homer off New York starter Marcus Stroman brought Milwaukee even at 4-4 in the fifth. Adames doubled in the first run.
Bauers pitched a scoreless ninth, the second consecutive game the Brewers finished with a position player on the mound. Infielder Owen Miller pitched the final two innings of Saturday's 15-3 loss.
