Aaron Judge added to his torrid home-run pace Monday night when he hit his 47th home run of the season off New York Mets starter Max Scherzer to propel the New York Yankees to a 4-2 win.

Judge leads the majors with his home run total. His dinger came in the third inning and put the Yankees up 2-0. DJ LeMahieu, Andrew Benintendi and Isiah Kiner-Falefa added RBIs.
