PITTSBURGH (AP) — Aaron Judge and Gleyber Torres scored when a potential game-ending double play turned into a game-turning error as the New York Yankees rallied past the Pittsburgh Pirates 7-5. The Yankees trailed by two in the ninth before taking advantage of some shaky pitching by Colin Holderman (0-3) and some sloppy defense by the Pirates. Pittsburgh second baseman Ji Hwan Bae’s throwing error allowed the tying and go-ahead runs to score in the ninth. Judge had three hits for the Yankees, who have won four of five. Every member of the Pirates and several Yankees wore No. 21 to honor Pittsburgh Hall of Fame outfielder Roberto Clemente.
