The New York Yankees overpowered the Washington Nationals 11–2 on Wednesday, completing a three-game sweep with a barrage of early home runs at Yankee Stadium. New York sent six balls over the fence in the first four innings, including four in a nine-run third. Trent Grisham opened the game with a leadoff shot, and Aaron Judge followed with his 41st homer of the season in back-to-back fashion with Cody Bellinger. Ryan McMahon and Austin Wells added long balls as the Yankees built a double-digit lead before the Nationals recorded nine outs. The onslaught provided ample support for the Yankees’ pitching staff and gave the club its most lopsided win of the series. Washington, which threw 77 pitches to escape the third inning alone, never recovered from the early deficit.
