NEW YORK — Major League Baseball is investigating manager Alex Cora and the Red Sox after Cora insinuated that the club threw at Yankees’ Aaron Judge in Saturday’s contest, a league source confirmed Monday. The investigation was described as standard practice and no decision was made as of Monday afternoon.

Magic number to win NL East down to six. Aaron Judge notches 133rd RBI, a career high. (Oh, that came on his 53rd homer). Tyler Glasnow officially done for year. October will be an adventure. Respect: At least 86 wins in last seven full seasons.

Aaron Judge hit his major league-leading 53rd homer, and the New York Yankees beat the Boston Red Sox 5-2 to open a three-game AL East lead over second-place Baltimore.
