Jake Cave, Michael Toglia, and Alex Verdugo Home Runs Tonight

The Rockies hit the ground running on Saturday. Michael Toglia took Mark Leiter Jr. deep in the fifth inning for a solo shot. Jake Cave also joined the party with a two-run shot in the seventh inning off of Michael Tonkin.

Alex Verdugo was the only Yankees hitter to put one over the fence. He hit his 11th home run of the year in the fourth inning, but it was not enough. Even another Aaron Judge home run would not have been enough to get the win on Saturday.
