**Yankees Crush Cubs in Friday Night Rout; Look to Continue Dominance Saturday**

**Bronx, NY** – The New York Yankees dominated the Chicago Cubs in a resounding 11-0 victory at Yankee Stadium on Friday night, extending their winning streak to five games. Cody Bellinger stole the show, hitting three two-run home runs against his former team and narrowly missing a fourth. Aaron Judge contributed with a trio of spectacular defensive plays, denying Cubs hitters with incredible catches.

Starting pitcher Carlos Rodón (10-6) earned his third All-Star selection and delivered a stellar performance, pitching eight innings, allowing only four hits, and striking out eight. Bellinger, who played for the Cubs in 2023 and 2024, showcased his power with his first three-homer game, driving in a career-high six RBIs. Judge, known for his power hitting, demonstrated his defensive prowess, making three highlight-reel catches to rob the Cubs of potential runs.

The Yankees have now scored five or more runs in ten consecutive games, marking their longest streak since 2012. They have also recorded three three-homer games this season, a franchise first.

The Yankees (47-30) will look to continue their momentum on Saturday, July 12th, 2025, at 7:00 PM EST against the Chicago Cubs (38-39). Max Fried (11-2, 2.27 ERA) will take the mound for the Yankees, while Matt Boyd (9-3, 2.52 ERA) will start for the Cubs.
