Judge homers twice to reach 30, Chisholm has 4 RBIs, Stroman wins in return as Yanks beat A's 12-5
NEW YORK (AP) — Aaron Judge homered twice to reach 30 for the sixth time and Jazz Chisholm Jr. also drove in four runs as Marcus Stroman won in his first start for the New York Yankees since April, a 12-5 romp over the Athletics on Sunday.
Judge hit two-run homers in the fourth inning off Luis Severino and in the seventh against fellow Fresno, California-area native Tyler Ferguson for his 44th multi-homer game. Cody Bellinger added a three-run drive for the Yankees, who took two of three from the A's for only their second series win in 2 1/2 weeks.
Severino (2-9) was chased with a 7-0 deficit in his Yankee Stadium return, hurt by a leaky defense. He has given up 15 runs in two starts against New York this year.
Chisholm put the Yankees ahead in the second with his third homer in four games and boosted the lead with 4-0 with a bases-loaded triple in a four-run third. Chisholm is hitting .318 with six homers, 18 RBIs and four stolen bases since returning from strained right oblique on June 3. He appeared to hurt his right hand while trying to check a swing in the sixth but stayed in the game.
Stroman (1-1), who had been sidelined by left knee inflammation, won for the first time since last Aug. 30. He allowed three hits, including Willie MacIver's fifth-inning homer.
Severino, a two-time All-Star for the Yankees from 2015-23, allowed seven runs — six earned — five hits, three walks, two hitter batters, a wild pitch and two home runs.
Yankees shortstop Anthony Volpe was ejected for the first time after an inning-ending strikeout in the eighth, by first base umpire Chad Fairchild.
Key moments
Third baseman Max Muncy couldn't see Bellinger's pop that fell in left for a hit in the first, and right fielder Lawrence Butler and second baseman Luis Urías knocked gloves on Trent Grisham's third-inning fly. Center fielder Denzel Clarke didn't cut off Chisholm's third-inning hit, turning a double into a triple. Butler allowed Bellinger's fourth-inning drive to sail just over his glove off the right-field wall and McIver, the catcher, dropped a sixth-inning foul pop.
Key stat
Severino is 0-7 with a 6.79 ERA at home and 2-2 with a 3.23 ERA on the road.

Skubal strikes out 13, wins 10th straight decision as Tigers beat Twins 3-0
DETROIT (AP) — Tarik Skubal struck out 13 hitters in seven innings and the Detroit Tigers beat the Minnesota Twins 3-0 on Sunday night. Skubal (10-2) only allowed one hit — a clean single to right by Ty France in the fifth inning — as he improved to 10-0 with a 1.74 ERA in his last 15 starts. The last double-digit streak in one season by a Detroit lefty was Earl Whitehill's 11-start stretch in 1930. The strikeouts matched Skubal's career high, last done on May 25 in his 94-pitch shutout against the Guardians. Chris Paddack (3-7) gave up three runs in 4 2/3 innings for the Twins. The Tigers took a 1-0 lead on Kerry Carpenter's solo homer in the first inning, and he added a RBI triple in the fifth before leaving the game with an apparent leg injury. Riley Greene hit a solo homer in the fourth. Will Vest pitched the ninth to pick up his 13th save. Key moment Skubal struck out eight of the first nine hitters, including seven in a row, before Byron Buxton lifted a fly ball to Riley Greene on the warning track in left. Buxton is 2 for 15 (.133) in his career against Skubal, though both hits have been homers.

US gets past Costa Rica in Gold Cup quarterfinals on penalty kicks
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Damion Downs scored in the sixth round of a shootout after three saves by Matt Freese, sending the U.S. to the semifinals of the CONCACAF Gold Cup with a 3-2 penalty-kicks win over Costa Rica after a a 2-2 tie on Sunday night. The U.S. advanced to a Wednesday matchup in St. Louis against Guatemala, which upset Canada on penalty kicks in the opener of the quarterfinal doubleheader. Mexico plays Honduras in the other semifinal on Wednesday in Santa Clara, California. The championship is in Houston on July 6. The U.S. has reached the semifinals in 17 of 18 Gold Cups, including 13 straight since a quarterfinal loss to Colombia on penalty kicks in 2000. Diego Luna and Max Arfsten scored in regulation for the U.S., which faced its highest-ranked opponent of the tournament in Costa Rica (54th) after breezing through the group stage with an 8-1 goal differential. Alonso Martinez scored the tying goal for the Ticos in the 71st minute with a left-footed shot after Carlos Mora split Luca de La Torre and Arsten to take a shot on Freese and seize the rebound to set up Martinez. CONCACAF changed the rules for this edition of the biennial championship for North America, Central America and the Caribbean, eliminating extra time except for the championship game. John Tolkin had the first chance to win the shootout for the U.S. Keylor Navas knocked down his try in the fifth round. Freese then denied Andy Rojas with a diving hand, climbing to his feet while nodding his head and sticking out his tongue toward his cheering teammates at midfield. That set up the winner by the 20-year-old Downs. Missing the tournament for the U.S. are regulars Christian Pulisic, Yunus Musah, Weston McKennie, Tim Weah, Gio Reyna, Antonee Robinson, Folarin Balogun and Sergiño Dest, due to a variety of reasons from injuries to rest to Club World Cup commitments. The Ticos played without four key players. Forward Manfred Ugalde, who had three goals in the tournament, and midfielder Carlos Mora were suspended for yellow-card accumulation. Defender Ariel Lassiter (broken left hand) and forward Warren Madrigal (broken left leg) were sidelined by injuries. Three of Costa Rica's six goals during the group stage came by penalty kick, and Francisco Calvo added another one in the 12th minute after a foul by Arsten. Calvo went low to zip the ball just out of reach of a diving Freese.

Luna picked him up with his first goal in international competition by rocketing a shot off the chest of defender Alexis Gamboa for the equalizer in the 43rd minute. Tillman made amends for his miss early in the second half by poking a pass ahead for Arfsten, who surged in from the left wing to send the ball into the opposite corner for the lead. ___ AP soccer:

Jets set for free agency opening with questions to answer
The expectation is that the biggest splash has already been made by the Winnipeg Jets, but that doesn't mean the official opening of free agency on Tuesday will be entirely quiet either. With the services of Jonathan Toews already secured and the contract set to be filed on July 1, the Jets will be turning their attention to augmenting the roster. The biggest question left to answer is what will happen with pending UFA forward Nikolaj Ehlers, and while Jets general manager Kevin Cheveldayoff said last week that discussions will continue until he's either saying congratulations or thank you, the likelihood of the dynamic Dane remaining in the fold seems to be dwindling. The likelihood of the Jets' Nikolaj Ehlers plays staying with the team appears to be dwindling. (Matt Slocum / The Associated Press files) Should Ehlers depart in free agency, a deal with the Carolina Hurricanes seems to be the most likely destination — though there will be a lengthy line of suitors willing to offer a multiyear deal north of $8.5 million. If Ehlers moves on after a decade in the NHL, it leaves a gaping hole on a second line that could include Toews and Cole Perfetti. Brock Boeser is a name that makes a lot of sense, but can the Jets win a bidding war for his services given the competition that will be there for him as well? That remains to be seen. Then there's the matter of sniper Kyle Connor and captain Adam Lowry being eligible to sign contract extensions as of Tuesday. Is this something that gets taken care of quickly or might it take a bit more time? The expectation is that both deals get done before the season begins, as both Connor and Lowry appear interested in being lifetime Jets. It's not impossible that forwards Mason Appleton and Brandon Tanev could stick around, but most signs point to them finding new teams during the coming days — though both players enjoyed their time with the Jets. By extending defenceman Haydn Fleury, the Jets seem mostly set on the back end — other than getting a new deal done for pending restricted free agent Dylan Samberg. The Jets actually have a surplus of NHL D-men, so there could be a move coming with one of them to shore up for the forward group as well. Jets general manager Kevin Cheveldayoff said last week that discussions with Nikolaj Ehlers will continue until he's either saying congratulations or thank you. (Ruth Bonneville / Free Press files) While the Jets look strong in goal with Connor Hellebuyck and Eric Comrie at the NHL and prospects Thomas Milic and Dom DiVincentiis in the system, it wouldn't be surprising to see Winnipeg pursue a veteran to share the crease with them on the Manitoba Moose and serve as the No. 3 guy on the depth chart. Speaking of the Moose, after a tough season, signing a few quality depth players that could bounce between the NHL and AHL is likely on the to-do list as well in order to provide a bit more offensive talent and insulation for some of the top prospects. So while the Jets won't likely be shopping in the high-priced aisle that includes defenceman Aaron Ekblad or feisty forward Brad Marhand, that doesn't necessarily mean they'll be sitting on the sidelines either come Tuesday. With that in mind, here's a look at some players that could be on the Jets' radar for some of the aforementioned vacancies: Position: Right wing Age: 28 2024-25 stats: 75 GP, 25 G, 25 A, 50 P, 3 GWG, 145 SOG, 18:10 TOI AAV last season: $6.65 million The skinny: The six-time 20-goal scorer will be in high demand, especially being just two years removed from posting career-highs in goals (40) and points (73). The 'down' season Boeser is coming off of still included 25 goals and 50 points — with nine goals and 20 points coming on the power play. The Jets have been watching Boeser since he played in Grand Forks at the University of North Dakota and he could help fill a hole up front. His 29 games of playoff experience would also be welcome for a team looking to take the next steps in the post-season. Position: Left wing Age: 29 2024-25 stats: 81 GP, 14 G, 14 A, 28 P, 3 GWG, 95 SOG, 13:02 TOI AAV last season: $5.8 million The skinny: A tenacious forechecker who goes to the hard areas that could supply secondary scoring and contribute to the second power play. The feisty forward has delivered 14 or more goals in six consecutive seasons, including a 35-goal, 55-point campaign with the Calgary Flames in 2021-22. He fit in well with the Washington Capitals last season and could do the same with the Jets. Position: Left/right wing Age: 30 on July 18 2024-25 stats: 56 GP, 15 G, 14 A, 29 P, 4 GWG, 109 SOG, 14:30 TOI AAV last season: $1.075 million The skinny: A strong skater with an excellent shot, Olofsson scored six times on the power play last season. Although he still needs to improve his play away from the puck, he took some steps with his two-way game under Vegas Golden Knights head coach Bruce Cassidy. Olofsson might not get to market, but if he does, the Jets could be a fit, given the middle-six minutes that could be available. Position: Right wing Age: 29 on July 23 2024-25 stats: 67 GP, 6 G, 8 A, 14 P, 2 GWG, 66 SOG, 11:55 TOI AAV last season: $1 million The skinny: The numbers don't pop off the page, but the light bulb seemed to go on for the Finnish forward down the stretch and during the Stanley Cup playoffs, as the Edmonton Oilers pushed the Florida Panthers to six games in the final. Occasionally seeing time alongside Leon Draisaitl, the 22nd overall pick in the 2014 NHL Draft showed off his speed and provided some secondary scoring (three goals, six points in 12 playoff games). The speedy right-handed winger was also used on the penalty kill. Position: Right wing Age: 30 2024-25 stats: 13 GP, 4 G, 3 A, 7 P, 15 SOG, 1 GWG, 13:54 TOI AAV last season: $3.5 million The skinny: A knee injury forced the 6-foot-5, 234-pound winger to miss the majority of the season, but the Jets have been linked to the player in the past and there could be an opportunity for him to re-establish himself as a middle-six winger on a show-me contract. He's been a high-volume shooter for most of his career, eclipsing 100 shots on goal nine times, including registering 198 with the Detroit Red Wings in 2018-19.
