It was a good, solid win.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Voit gave the Yankees the lead in the third. After left-hander Packy Naughton retired the first two batters of the inning, DJ LeMahieu walked and Anthony Rizzo singled past first base before Judge\u2019s walk loaded the bases for Voit, who entered the game in a 2-for-17 rut with eight strikeouts.<\/p>\n<p>He delivered a single up the middle to drive in two runs.<\/p>\n<p>Voit was drilled in the rib by a pitch by Andrew Wantz in the fifth, but remained in the game.<\/p>\n<p>The Yankees added another two-out run in the fourth.<\/p>\n<p>Rougned Odor bunted for a hit with one out, moved to second on an Andrew Velazquez groundout and scored on Brett Gardner\u2019s single to center to make it 3-0.<\/p>\n<p>And Judge gave the Yankees\u2019 bullpen a bit more breathing room with a solo shot in the eighth, his 30th of the season, continuing his torrid run.<\/p>\n<p>Loaisiga pitched a scoreless eighth before Chapman finished it with an excellent performance in the ninth, as the closer looks to regain the form he had earlier in the season.<\/p>\n<p>Higashioka said Chapman was just as good on Wednesday as he was at any point during the first half. But the tone was set by Cole, who Judge said provided \u201ccomplete domination.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe needed that out of our ace after the past couple games and after such a long [winning] streak,\u2019\u2019 Judge said. \u201cIt felt like he was in control the whole game.\u201d\n                        <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
