The Aaron Judge home run watch will continue Monday night when the New York Yankees visit the Toronto Blue Jays to open a three-game series.


Judge remained at 60 home runs after the Yankees defeated the visiting Boston Red Sox 2-0 Sunday night in a game shortened to six innings by rain. Judge went 1-for-2 with a double and a walk.

He is in pursuit of the American League home run record of 61 set by former *** Roger Maris in 1961.

The Yankees (94-5 have already clinched a postseason berth but could clinch first place in the American League East against the Blue Jays (86-67).

They lead the Blue Jays by 8 1/2 games.

The Yankees are scheduled to start right-hander Luis Severino (6-3, 3.36 ERA) on Monday. Severino is 6-3 with a 3.94 ERA in 17 career games (14 starts) against the Blue Jays.

It would be Severino's second start since a two-month stint on the injured list (right lat strain) following a five-inning, one-run start against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Wednesday.

Severino does not look at his outing as an audition for a place on the postseason rotation.

"I don't really think that I'm here to try out for the postseason," Severino said before the game on Sunday.

"I've been here long enough and they know what I can do when I am healthy. We have a lot of good guys here, but they can't pitch every day. They need other guys to pitch and I am excited to do that."

Toronto is expected to start right-hander Kevin Gausman (12-10, 3.32 ERA) on Monday.
He is 8-7 with a 3.53 ERA, in 26 career games (20 starts) against the Yankees.

The Blue Jays solidified their spot in the first wild-card position with a 7-1 road victory over the Tampa Bay Rays on Sunday to gain a split of the four-game series.

The Blue Jays are two games ahead of the Rays and 2 1/2 games in front of the Seattle Mariners, who occupy the third wild-card spot.

The Mariners and Rays hold the tiebreaker with the Blue Jays because they each hold the advantage in their season series against them.

Toronto had two home runs and three RBIs Sunday from George Springer, a proven postseason performer.
Both home runs came against Rays No. 1 starter Shane McClanahan.

"He's just so clutch," winning pitcher Ross Stripling said after the game on Sunday "You go through his whole career, and September and October is just when he turns it on."

"He's been through it," Blue Jays interim manager John Schneider said.

"He's been through the biggest moments the game has to offer. ... He's the definition of a gamer when it gets to this part of the year."

Springer is playing with inflammation in his right elbow and sometimes is used as the designated hitter.
When he starts in center field, he often is replaced defensively in the final inning or two. Bradley Zimmer played center in the bottom of the ninth Sunday.

"I'm just trying to slow things down and be consistent," Springer said. "Obviously, I'd love to be better with guys on base, but it is what it is. I want to slow things down, not try to do too much and get to first for the other guys behind me."

US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's visit to Armenia marks a growing closeness between Washington and Yerevan where frustration is brewing over the lack of support from its traditional ally, Russia


US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Sunday condemned what she described as an "illegal" attack by Azerbaijan on Armenia that sparked the worst fighting since their 2020 war.



Baku and Yerevan have accused each other of starting Tuesday's border clashes, which claimed the lives of more than 200 people.

"We strongly condemn those attacks -- on behalf of Congress -- which threaten (the) prospects of the much-needed peace agreement," Pelosi told journalists in Yerevan.

"Armenia has particular importance to us because of the focus on security following an illegal and deadly attack by Azerbaijan on the Armenian territory."

The attack was an "assault on (the) sovereignty of Armenia", she added.

Hostilities between the Caucasus arch foes ended overnight on Thursday thanks to mediation by the United States, Armenian parliament speaker Alen Simonyan said.

Earlier attempts by Russia to broker a truce failed.

"We are grateful to the United States for the agreement of the fragile ceasefire reached by their mediation," he told journalists alongside Pelosi.

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Sunday also spoke with Azerbaijan's President Ilham Aliyev, according to a State Department readout of their call.

Blinken "urged President Aliyev to adhere to the ceasefire, disengage military forces, and work to resolve all outstanding issues between Armenia and Azerbaijan through peaceful negotiations," said spokesman Ned Price.

Pelosi's visit marks a growing closeness between Washington and Yerevan where frustration is brewing over the lack of support from Armenia's traditional ally Moscow which is distracted by its nearly seven-month war in Ukraine.

Russia -- which has a treaty obligation to defend Armenia in the event of foreign invasion, but which also has close ties with Baku -- did not rush to help Yerevan despite a formal demand for military help.

"We asked for military help and our demand was not accepted. Obviously, we are not happy," Armenia's security council chairman, Artyom Grigoryan, said Friday.

Pelosi, who arrived in Yerevan on Saturday for a three-day visit, is the highest-ranking US official to travel to Armenia since the tiny nation gained independence from the Soviet Union in 1991.

On Sunday morning, a tearful Pelosi laid flowers at Yerevan's hilltop memorial of the 1.5 million Armenians killed in the Ottoman Empire during World War I.

Armenia has long sought international recognition of the bloodletting as genocide -- a claim fiercely rejected by Turkey but supported by many other countries.

Pelosi said she was "proud" to travel to Yerevan after US President Joe Biden formally acknowledged the Armenian genocide last year.

"It is the moral duty of all to never forget: an obligation that has taken on heightened urgency as atrocities are perpetrated around the globe, including by Russia against Ukraine," Pelosi said on Saturday.

Armenia and Azerbaijan have fought two wars -- in the 1990s and in 2020 -- over the contested region of Nagorno-Karabakh, an Armenian-populated enclave of Azerbaijan.

Pelosi said: "In the Congress, in the bipartisan way, we hold (Baku's ally) Turkey responsible -- as well as Azerbaijan -- for the conflict that exists in Nagorno-Karabakh."

- Decades-long talks -

Together with France and Russia, the US co-chairs the Minsk Group of mediators, which had led decades-long peace talks between Baku and Yerevan under the aegis of the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe.

The Minsk Group has been largely defunct as Moscow faces growing isolation on the world stage following its February invasion of Ukraine.

The European Union had taken a lead role in mediating the Armenia-Azerbaijan normalisation process.

Analysts have said the hostilities have largely undone Western efforts to bring Baku and Yerevan closer to a peace deal.

The six-week war in 2020 claimed the lives of more than 6,500 troops from both sides and ended with a Russian-brokered ceasefire.

Under the deal, Armenia ceded swathes of territory it had controlled for decades, and Moscow deployed about 2,000 Russian peacekeepers to oversee the fragile truce.

Ethnic Armenian separatists in Nagorno-Karabakh broke away from Azerbaijan when the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991.

The ensuing conflict claimed around 30,000 lives.
