Leadoff man Aaron Judge singled twice during a six-run first inning off Corey Kluber as the Yankees started with seven straight hits for the first time since 1990 and routed the Rays on Saturday.
He is the first Yankees player to reach base at least three times in seven straight games since Mickey Mantle in June 1957.
"The Rays tend to go after him a little bit more, but take what the game gives you. Mike Schmidt used to always say that to me when I was a kid," said Boone, whose father, Bob, was a teammate of the Hall of Fame third baseman in Philadelphia. "Being home, being around my family going through that experience is pretty special and just really putting things in perspective and having that joy to come out here and play the game I love to play," Donaldson said.
New York starter Jameson Taillon gave up three runs and six hits in 7 1/3 innings and got his 50th career win. Donaldson hit his 13th homer in the second. He stumbled home in the seventh on a wild pitch by Calvin Faucher.Struggling LF Aaron Hicks did not play after misplaying two flyballs in the fourth inning on Friday and getting pulled midgame.On the Franco hit, the ball dropped out of his glove along the left-field foul line and Hicks initially thought he caught the ball and it was foul before reacting.
