Judge homers twice to reach 30, Chisholm has 4 RBIs, Stroman wins in return as Yanks beat A's 12-5
Judge hit two-run homers in the fourth inning off Luis Severino and in the seventh against fellow Fresno, California-area native Tyler Ferguson for his 44th multi-homer game. Cody Bellinger added a three-run drive for the Yankees, who took two of three from the A's for only their second series win in 2 1/2 weeks.
Severino was chased with a 7-0 deficit in his Yankee Stadium return, hurt by a leaky defense. He has given up 15 runs in two starts against New York this year.
Chisholm put the Yankees ahead in the second with his third homer in four games and boosted the lead with 4-0 with a bases-loaded triple in a four-run third. Chisholm is hitting .318 with six homers, 18 RBIs and four stolen bases since returning from strained right oblique on June 3. He appeared to hurt his right hand while trying to check a swing in the sixth but stayed in the game.
Stroman , who had been sidelined by left knee inflammation, won for the first time since last Aug. 30. He allowed three hits, including Willie MacIver's fifth-inning homer.
Severino, a two-time All-Star for the Yankees from 2015-23, allowed seven runs — six earned — five hits, three walks, two hitter batters, a wild pitch and two home runs.
Yankees shortstop Anthony Volpe was ejected for the first time after an inning-ending strikeout in the eighth, by first base umpire Chad Fairchild.
Third baseman Max Muncy couldn't see Bellinger's pop that fell in left for a hit in the first, and right fielder Lawrence Butler and second baseman Luis Urías knocked gloves on Trent Grisham's third-inning fly. Center fielder Denzel Clarke didn't cut off Chisholm's third-inning hit, turning a double into a triple. Butler allowed Bellinger's fourth-inning drive to sail just over his glove off the right-field wall and McIver, the catcher, dropped a sixth-inning foul pop.
Severino is 0-7 with a 6.79 ERA at home and 2-2 with a 3.23 ERA on the road.
Athletics: LHP Jacob Lopez starts Monday night's series opener at Tampa Bay, which goes with RHP Drew Rasmussen .

Boston Celtics sold to Bill Chisholm-led consortium in huge NBA deal
For the largest price ever paid for an American professional sports team, a consortium led by private equity mogul Bill Chisholm will take at least 51 percent control of Boston Celtics, the most successful franchise in the history of the National Basketball Association (NBA). The NBA has approved the sale for a record sum of $6.1 billion, and Chisholm will get full control in 2028, when the total valuation of the deal could come to $7.3 billion. Previous owner Wyc Grousbeck led the ownership group that bought the Celtics in 2002 for $360 million. However, it's the second-largest sale price for a US sports franchise, behind the $10 billion valuation for the Los Angeles Lakers when Mark Walter, the CEO of Guggenheim Partners, purchased that team in June, but it's not yet clear how much the new buyer will own. Chisholm is the managing partner of California-based Symphony Technology Group. The new ownership group also includes Boston businessmen Rob Hale, who is a current Celtics shareholder, and Bruce Beal Jr, according to the Associated Press. Chisholm outbid at least two other groups, one led by previous Celtics minority partner Steve Pagliuca. 'The NBA Board of Governors has unanimously approved the sale of the controlling interests in the Boston Celtics to an investor group led by Bill Chisholm,' the NBA said in a statement. 'The transaction is expected to close shortly.' The league's ratification came five months after the deal was agreed. Grousbeck is expected to serve as alternate governor and remain the CEO of the franchise through 2028. He will cease to remain in the role when he no longer has the required ownership stake of at least 15 percent. The previous record for a US sports franchise was the US$6.05 billion paid for the National Football League's Washington Commanders two years ago. The record price for an NBA team was the US$4 billion mortgage firm owner Mat Ishbia paid for the Phoenix Suns in 2023. The Celtics have won a record 18 NFL championships, the most recent of which came in 2024, defeating Dallas Mavericks in the finals. They won eight consecutive titles from 1959 to 1966, and after a break of one year, clinched back-to-back titles in 1968 and 1969. Bill Russell was the cornerstone of this dominance. Some of their other famous players in subsequent years include Larry Bird, Kevin McHale, Robert Parish in the 1980s and Paul Pierce, Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett in the 2000s.

NBA Approves 6.1 Billion USD Sale Of Boston Celtics
The NBA on Wednesday approved the sale of the Boston Celtics to an investment group led by Bill Chisholm, five months after the deal worth a then-record $6.1 billion was agreed. "The NBA Board of Governors has unanimously approved the sale of the controlling interests in the Boston Celtics to an investor group led by Bill Chisholm," the league said in a brief statement. "The transaction is expected to close shortly." Chisholm is the managing director and co-founder of Symphony Technology Group. When he and his co-investors agreed to purchase the storied Celtics franchise "at an initial valuation of $6.1 billion," that was the highest ever offered for a North American sports team. It has since been surpassed by the $10 billion sale, in June, of the Los Angeles Lakers by the Buss family to billionaire Mark Walter. When the Celtics sale was announced, it was stated that Wyc Grousbeck would continue in his roles of chief executive officer and governor, overseeing team operations through the 2027-28 season. The Grousbeck family and Steve Pagliuca purchased the Celtics for $360 million in 2002. But US media reported this week that Chisholm -- a Massachusetts native who calls himself a "die-hard Celtics fan" -- will assume the role of governor because under the terms of the deal, Grousbeck will no longer have the required 15% ownership stake the league requires to hold that role. Nevertheless, ESPN reported that Chisholm and Grousbeck "plan to run the team together as originally planned." The Celtics are one of the most storied in the NBA's history, with a record 18 championships, the most recent in 2024.
