Aaron Judge and Gary Sanchez redefined the meaning of 40-40 club. Judge hit a tying home run in the sixth inning, the 40th of his big league career, just a year and a day after his debut. After Aaron Hicks hit a go-ahead drive in the eighth, Sanchez hit the 40th of his career, too, and the Yankees rallied from a two-run deficit to beat the Mets 4-2 on Monday night in the first of four Subway Series matchups this week.
