WATCH: Yankees' Aaron Judge & Ben Rice exchange hilarious signature handshake

Aaron Judge and fellow New York Yankees teammates have a new handshake going on in the dugout. After winning 5-2 against the Washington Nationals on Monday, Judge and first baseman Ben Rice engaged in a new handshake.

It involves both shaking hands and making a face with a sizzling hand movement. Wild guess: It might have to do something with the Yankees hitters being drilled on the hands earlier in the season, especially divisional rivals Baltimore Orioles.

Here's the video:

With the win against the Nats, the Yankees have increased their lead by 2.0 games over the second-placed Orioles in the AL East.

They are 6-4 in their last 10 games. If the combo of Juan Soto and Aaron Judge continues to overpower pitchers at the plate, the Orioles will have a tough time catching the division leaders.

Nats keep Juan Soto and Aaron Judge quiet; other Yankees hitters shine

While the Washington Nationals did a good job keeping the hitting of Juan Soto and Aaron Judge at bay, they still endured a loss, as the other Yankees hitters covered up.

Soto went 0-4 at the plate while Judge went 1-4, with both getting a walk each. However, the Yanks captain got into the history books again, as his lone hit in the game was his 1,000th, becoming the first hitter (42nd overall) since Brett Gardner in 2017 to achieve the feat.

Moreover, on the field, Aaron Judge made a sensational catch to rob Andres Chaparro of a potential home run.

However, their lack of production was covered up by Jazz Chisholm, Gleyber Torres and Austin Wells, all of whom hit homers.

“Coming out of the homestand, starting the road trip, throwing an early punch there right away, that was big," Yankees manager Aaron Boone said about Torres' home run in the first inning.

"He’s obviously doing a great job in the leadoff spot. I feel like that first at-bat, he’s not sacrificing aggression, but he’s also having a lot of long, patient at-bats. That was a good strike there to grab us a lead.”

Credit goes to DJ LeMahieu as well, who had two sac-flys that drove in a runner. Nestor Cortes pitched a gem from the mound.

He threw 6.2 innings, allowing only four hits and two walks for one run while striking out five hitters. Closer Clay Holmes pitched a clean inning in the ninth to seal the game 5-2.
