Juan Soto homered and drove in five runs, Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton also went deep and the New York Yankees beat the Houston Astros 9-4 on Wednesday night. It was the first time the power trio all connected in the same game for the Yankees, who won their fifth straight and improved to 6-0 against the Astros this season. “That certainly puts a smile on your face when those three guys do that,” New York manager Aaron Boone said. Stanton hit a 119.9 mph rocket into the second deck that was the hardest-hit ball in the majors this year.
