Aaron Judge gets 4 hits to raise his average to .409 and the Yankees beat the A's 12-2
WEST SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — Aaron Judge had four hits to get his average back above .400 and Ben Rice hit a grand slam to lead the New York Yankees to a 12-2 victory over the Athletics on Sunday. Judge hit a two-run single in a five-run second inning against former teammate Luis Severino (1-4) and added hits in his final three at-bats to raise his average on the season to .409 — the fourth highest ever for a player with at least 14 homers in the first 40 games of a season. The Yankees broke the game open in the fifth inning when Rice hit his first career grand slam after Mitch Spence had relieved an ineffective Severino. The former Yankees starter struggled in his first career start against his former team, matching a career worst with eight earned runs allowed in four-plus innings. Ryan Yarbrough (1-0) allowed two runs in five innings in his second start of the season to get the win. JJ Bleday homered for the A's, who fell to 8-13 at home this season. Key moment The Yankees took control of the game in the second inning with an RBI single by Anthony Volpe, a bases-loaded walk by Oswaldo Cabrera and a run-scoring groundout by Jorbit Vivas. Judge then delivered the big hit with a line single that drove in two runs, giving him 39 RBIs this season. Key stat Paul Goldschmidt had three doubles and has now hit safely in all 19 road games he has played this season. The only other Yankees to do that are Derek Jeter with 23 straight to open the 2007 season and Jack Lelivelt with 21 in 1912. Up next The Yankees open a three-game series in Seattle on Monday night with RHP Clarke Schmidt (0-1, 4.79) set to start. The A's start a three-game series in Los Angeles against the Dodgers on Tuesday night with LHP Jeffrey Springs (4-3, 4.81) set to start the opener. ___ AP MLB:

Death of Brett Gardner's son Miller being investigated as possible carbon-monoxide poisoning

(Photo by) (Mike Stobe via Getty Images) The death of former New York Yankees outfielder Brett Garner's son is now being investigated as a possible carbon-monoxide poisoning, investigators said Monday. Gardner's son, 14-year-old Miller, died in March during a family trip to Costa Rica. The Gardner family announced his death in a statement released by the Yankees two days later. Advertisement Miller's cause of death was initially unclear. The Gardner family said Miller and several other family members fell ill on the trip. Early reports suggested asphyxiation as a cause of death, though it was determined Miller's airways were not blocked. Food poisoning was also suspected before Monday's announcement. In a news conference Monday, Randall Zuniga, director of Costa Rica's Judicial Investigation Department, said Miller's death is now being investigated as a possible carbon-monoxide poisoning. Investigators reportedly found "high emissions of carbon monoxide contamination" while conducting tests in the hotel room where the Gardner family stayed, per ESPN. The room investigators tested was next to a "machine room" that may have been the cause of the contamination, per Zuniga. "Levels of up to 600 parts per million were found, when the correct level should be zero in this specific case," Zuniga said. Carbon-monoxide poisoning is not Miller's official cause of death. Investigators now suspect Miller died due to "inhaling hazardous gases," but are still waiting on toxicology reports. In their statement, the Gardner family asked for privacy following Miller's death. The Yankees paid tribute to Miller on Opening Day. Players gathered on the field, took off their caps and held a moment of silence for Miller as his picture was shown on the scoreboard.

Yankees signing reliever Ryan Yarbrough
The Yankees are making a late offseason addition, signing left-handed reliever Ryan Yarbrough to a big league deal, per multiple reports. The deal is for one year and $2 million, with an additional $500,000 in possible incentives, per Jorge Castillo of ESPN. Yarbrough had been in spring training with the Blue Jays, but exercised an opt out he had a right to use if he wasn't on the Opening Day 26-man roster, reports Joel Sherman of The New York Post, who adds that Yarbrough will be on the Yankees' Opening Day roster. The 33-year-old Yarbrough was solid last season for the Dodgers and Blue Jays, posting a 3.19 ERA (4.64 FIP) and 1.03 WHIP in 98.2 innings over 44 appearances. His strikeout rate was a career-low 5.9 per nine innings, but he offset that with a career-best 6.4 hits allowed per nine. Yarbrough, who is often deployed in multi-inning stints, also has experience as a starter/opener, but was utilized only in relief last season. He will join a New York bullpen that includes closer Devin Williams, Luke Weaver, Ian Hamilton, Mark Leiter Jr., and Tim Hill.

Spencer Jones reaches three times, Ben Hess pitches in Yankees' Spring Breakout loss to Orioles
The Yankees were defeated the Baltimore Orioles 5-4 in their Spring Breakout Game on Saturday night. - Carlos Lagrange took the mound for the Baby Bombers. The 21-year-old was terrific as he showed off his 70-grade fastball, touching 100 mph consistently from the get-go. After allowing a leadoff single, he retired the next 11 hitters in a row before Vance Honeycutt beat him to left-center for an inside-the-park homer. Lagrange finished with a final line of two runs (one earned) on two hits, one walk, and two strikeouts across 4.0 innings. - Spencer Jones almost made a nice running grab ranging over to left-center on the inside-the-parker, but he wasn't able reel it in. The slugger reached base three times but his only serious damage came in the top of the seventh as he was gifted a double after the left fielder lost it in the lights. - George Lombard Jr. was quiet at the plate over his first three at-bats, but then he reached in his next two with a walk and a single. The 19-year-old first-round pick was really impressive this spring -- demolishing a pair of homers, including a 414-foot blast that left the bat at a whopping 108.4 mph. - Jesus Rodriguez drove in two of New York's four runs with a run scoring groundout and an RBI single. - Ben Hess, the Yankees' first-round pick from last year, made his unofficial pro debut. He cruised through a perfect first inning of work but then allowed a run to score on Dylan Beavers' RBI single in the bottom of the sixth. The 22-year-old struck out 106 batters in 68 innings last year at Alabama. - Alexander Vargas made a terrific over-the-shoulder running grab on a pop up in shallow right in the ninth. The Yankees split up to play a pair of 1:05 p.m. games on Sunday, staying in Port Charlotte to face the Rays and in Tampa against the Pittsburgh Pirates.
