He started off with a two-run shot in the top of the third to plate himself and Gleyber Torres - taking a 3-1 lead in the process. Later, in the top of the sixth, Judge hit a solo shot to extend their lead to 9-4.
Jake Bauers also logged a contribution in the home run column with a 355 foot blast to right field.
Domingo German, fresh off a return from a 10-game suspension, fanned four batters and gave up seven hits and four earned runs in his victory over six-and-a-third innings. Seattle's Bryce Miller recorded the loss giving up eleven hits and eight earned runs.

Royals 7, Cardinals 0
Mike Mayers, Josh Staumont, Taylor Clarke and Amir Garrett combined to throw a two-hitter as visiting Kansas City blanked St. Louis.
The Royals used Staumont as the opener in a bullpen game. He set the Cardinals down in order in the first inning, then Mayers (1-0) came on to retire the next 18 batters to take a perfect game into the eighth inning. The Cardinals finally broke through against Mayers when Nolan Arenado and Willson Contreras hit singles to open the eighth.
Vinnie Pasquantino and Michael Massey each drove in two runs for the Royals, who won their second straight game after losing seven of their previous eight.

Cubs 1, Rays 0
Marcus Stroman tossed a one-hitter for his fourth career complete game to dominate the Tampa Bay Rays, and the host Chicago Cubs snapped a four-game losing streak with a 1-0 victory Monday afternoon.
Wander Franco ended Stroman's no-hit bid in the seventh with a flared single to left field. Brandon Lowe followed with the Rays' only walk of the game, but Stroman got Randy Arozarena to fly out and Josh Lowe to ground into an inning-ending double play. Stroman (5-4) threw 105 pitches and struck out eight.
The Cubs scored their lone run in the fourth inning. Seiya Suzuki hit an infield single and reached second on third baseman Taylor Walls' throwing error on the play. He eventually scored on Mike Tauchman's sacrifice fly to right field.
Stroman's gem overshadowed the performance of Tampa Bay rookie Taj Bradley (3-2). Making his sixth major league start since debuting April 12, Bradley allowed the unearned run, plus Chicago's only three hits and a walk, while striking out eight in 5 2/3 innings.
