Give the Texas Rangers credit as they put up a fight in the ninth inning against New York Yankees reliever David Bednar. But, in the end, the Yankees, behind Aaron Judge's 12th home run this season, picked up a 3-2 win at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas.

Judge now has homered in three straight games, giving any Yankees fans in attendance a chance to "All Rise" for the star outfielder.

For the Rangers, it was another tough loss.

Austin Wells also hit a home run for the Yankees.

Yankees starting pitcher Cam Schittler was too good on Tuesday night, striking out eight Rangers batters in six innings of work. Rangers starter Jacob deGrom wasn't too shabby, either.

Bednar gave up Danny Jansen's RBI triple and Josh Jung's RBI single in the bottom of the ninth. It was a good thing for the Yankees that Judge hit his home run, a solo shot, in the top of the ninth. That proved to be the difference in the game.

Corey Seager grounded into a game-ending double play, giving Bednar his ninth save this season.

It's been a tough start to the season for Seager, and how he finished Tuesday night's game probably will not make him feel any better.

Rangers manager Skip Schumaker, in his first season in the Texas dugout, isn't too worried about Seager right now. In fact, Schumaker thinks Seager is about to turn things around.

“I think Corey is about to get really hot," Schumaker said, according to Rangers beat reporter Kennedi Landry of MLB.com.

"He's probably hit pull side a little bit too much as of late," Schumaker continued. "When Corey is really good, it's up the middle, the other way, and then he'll hit a pull-side home run. He's just such a good hitter. Nobody works as hard as Corey at his craft. It's just a matter of time before he gets going.”

Schittler goes to 4-1 on the season with the victory. He only gave up three hits and walked one batter. Schittler now has a 1.51 ERA this season as he's amassed 25 strikeouts against just five walks. That type of strikeouts-to-walks ratio usually gets a starting pitcher in the win column.

In absorbing the loss, deGrom's record now sits at 2-1. He worked six innings and allowed just one run. deGrom didn't walk a batter and struck out five.

Rangers reliever Jalen Beeks gave up a run in one inning of work, and Jakob Junis worked a scoreless eighth. But Cole Winn surrendered Judge's blast as he worked in the ninth inning.

Schumaker might grab a copy of Tuesday night's box score and look at a statistic really hard. The Rangers were 1-for-10 with runners in scoring position and left 10 runners on base. The opportunities were aplenty for the Rangers, but they just couldn't get the job done.

Texas wraps up the three-game series against the Bronx Bombers on Wednesday. Right-hander Nathan Eovaldi, who is 2-4 with a 5.79 ERA, goes up against Yankees right-hander Elmer Rodriguez, who makes his major-league debut at Globe Life Field.
