NEW YORK (AP) — Aaron Judge hit his major league-leading 55th home run in the only blemish of Louie Varland’s otherwise outstanding big league debut, Oswaldo Cabrera’s single capped a two-run 12th and the New York Yankees beat the Minnesota Twins 5-4 in the opener of a doubleheader. Judge homered for the fourth straight game, driving a changeup to left in the fourth inning and beginning New York’s comeback from a 3-0 deficit.
