After the teams sat through a lighting and rain delay of 1 hour, 55 minutes, the second batter of the game, Judge, launched a 429-foot shot off Shane Baz (8-10) for his 40th long ball of the year.

Bellinger finished 4-for-5 with two homers, three runs and three RBIs. Stanton slugged two home runs and drove in four. Judge went 2-for-5 with a walk and three runs. New York's Jose Caballero also had a two-homer night while Jazz Chisholm Jr. and Ben Rice each had solo shots.
