Yankees slugger Aaron Judge is off to one of the best starts to a season ever, something Cody Bellinger can relate to from his Dodgers days.
Aaron Judge hit a two-run homer, rookie Will Warren struck out a career-high 10 and the New York Yankees beat the Texas Rangers 5-2 on Tuesday night. Ben Rice also went deep for the Yankees in the opener of a three-game series between the past two American League champions.
“Higgy’s one of a kind,” Judge said of his former teammate, who was hitting .225 with one homer and eight RBI prior to catching on Thursday. “I came up with him. He’s the definition of a great teammate, a great competitor. He’s a guy that pulls for every single person in this clubhouse. He makes everybody around him better.
Smith quickly made it clear he not only has Soto’s back, but that he’s more concerned about New York Yankees captain Aaron Judge. Never mind that Judge, already a two-time AL MVP, entered Thursday hitting .402 with 16 home runs, 45 RBI, and an MLB-best 3.8 bWAR.
Domínguez's solo homer in the ninth inning gave the Yankees a 4-3 win over the Rangers and sent Yankee Stadium into a frenzy.
Aaron Judge crushed his 15th home run of the year 444 feet, breaking a tie game and lifting the Yankees to a comeback 3-2 win over the Mariners on Wednesday afternoon at T-Mobile Park.
Veteran Paul Goldschmidt, 37, was one of the first out of the dugout — sprinting like a kid himself to mob Dominguez at home plate. It was a moment that spoke volumes: part joy, part validation, all family. And the love didn’t stop when the lights went out.
The New York Yankees just secured their 30th win of the regular season, and Aaron Judge continues to impress with another milestone—this time edging closer to a record that dates back to the 1930s.
