NEW YORK (AP) — Aaron Judge hit his 33rd home run, left fielder Cody Bellinger started a pivotal double play and the New York Yankees stopped a six-game losing streak by beating the Mets 6-4 Sunday to avoid a weekend Subway Series sweep.

Sunday’s game was always going to be challenging for the New York Mets. Their starting rotation, overrun by injuries, yielded to the bullpen and an opener, Chris Devenski, who hadn’t made a major league start in nearly six years.

To make matters worse, Volpe nearly took out Aaron Judge with a meaningless throw after the fourth inning. As the Yankees jogged off the field following the bottom of the fourth, Volpe, already past third base and in foul territory, launched a throw in the direction of Judge — who was coming in from right field.
