SEATTLE (AP) — Yankees powerhouse hitter Aaron Judge came within three rows of launching a three-run homer out of Seattle’s Safeco Field. No one has hit one out of Safeco during a game since the ballpark opened midway through the 1999 season. CC Sabathia allowed one run while pitching into the sixth inning of New York’s 5-1 win over the Mariners on Friday night.
