The New York Yankees and San Francisco Giants are set for Game 2 of a three-game series on Saturday night at Oracle Park.
Coming off a two-home run game, Yankees star Aaron Judge capped off a historic month of May. It very well may have been the greatest month of hitting displayed in decades.
His two home runs and four RBI paced the way to a 6-2 win for the Yankees, who became the first American League team to reach 40 wins on the season.

The Yankees also got a stellar start from right-hander Marcus Stroman, who allowed two runs in 7.1 innings pitched. Stroman has now allowed just three earned runs over his last 26.2 innings pitched.
On Saturday night, the Yankees will be starting Cody Poteet in the place of Clarke Schmidt. The latter is expected to miss roughly one month due to a lat strain he dealt with in his last outing.
Meanwhile, the Giants will be throwing out right-hander Logan Webb, who has had a strong season for the most part despite a 5-7 record. The 27-year-old enters Saturday’s game with a 2.74 ERA and has allowed four earned runs in his last 26 innings pitched.
