Aaron Judge extends Yankees lead with 448-foot HR

Speaking of the name Garcia, Avisail continued his wonderful start to the season tonight with a three-run bomb in the seventh inning to make it a four-run game for the Sox.

Chicago White Sox outfielder Melky Cabrera has been reinstated from the paternity list before the opener of a three-game series against the New York Yankees.

He also never had been in New York City or Yankee Stadium before, but he said he had two days to take in his surroundings and didn't think the atmosphere was a factor. It's just continued with guys that have given us distance. Castro and Chase Headley hit successive doubles after Holliday's homer into the bleachers beyond the left-center bullpen, estimated at 459 feet.

Matt Holliday's three-run homer keyed a five-run third, and Aaron Judge hit a two-run shot in the fifth. Austin Romine, who came into the game hitting.333/.414/.542, squibbed a single up to the middle to drive Judge in. "They want that opportunity".

Montgomery will be making his second big league start.

"I feel happy because I battled, " said Severino, who retired 18 of the first 19 batters he faced and has struck out 21 over his past two starts.

"I honestly don't look at it too much", Judge said of the distance.

Garcia began the night leading the majors with a.465 batting average. "He's got a very veteran demeanor to him". He faces a tough assignment against Braves (6-7) ace Julio Teheran (1-0, 0.95 ERA), who has allowed three runs or fewer in seven starts against the Nationals (8-5).

Standing 6-foot-6-inches and using an over-the-top delivery, Montgomery delivers the baseball from a unique arm slot. Garcia said he was looking for a slider because in his two previous strikeouts, Severino was able to command the pitch. Guess what? I don't envision Montgomery being displaced anytime soon. Warren gave up an RBI double to Kevan Smith before Aroldis Chapman earned his fourth save when Tyler Saladino grounded into a game-ending double play - the fourth turned by the Yankees. Chase Headley and Aaron Hicks also went deep to give NY a season high four home runs.

Abreu also hit an outside pitch in the sixth inning for a hard single into right field. Chicago went 1-for-10 with runners in scoring position and concluded a 5-4 road trip. "I have to adjust to that".

Milwaukee homered for the ninth consecutive game, as three Brewers went deep in the victory at frigid Wrigley Field.

"It was pretty impressive", NY manager Joe Girardi said. "Holland's really tough on left-handers", Girardi explained. "When the doctor comes in and sees him, we'll know more about what his status is for the future".

In the bottom half Brett Gardner, in a 2-for-27 skid, got ahead 3-and-1 before lining a fastball into the gap in right-center for a double. Bird struck out as a pinch hitter in the eighth.

Red Sox 4, Rays 3: Andrew Benintendi hit a go-ahead, two-run single as Boston scored three unearned runs following a dropped throw by second baseman Brad Miller and beat Tampa Bay in the annual Patriots' Day game in Boston. Renteria said Frazier is feeling better and was available. Bench coach Joe McEwing, known for his boundless enthusiasm, went to the mound to remove Holland in an animated pitching change.
