AARON JUDGE (2011 AGP PLAYER) MLB NEWS
By Curtis Rush June 6, 2018
TORONTO — The Yankees get a lot of attention for their prowess at the plate, and deservedly so. But through 12 innings on Wednesday, it was a pitching show led by Sonny Gray, with the Yankees defense playing a stout supporting role against the Blue Jays.
It looked like it was going to be a night to forget for Aaron Judge, who had returned to the lineup on Wednesday after a night off. Judge was hitless in his first four at-bats as Gray held things together while the sluggers struggled.
Finally, in the 13th inning, the Yankees’ bats jolted to life against reliever Joe Biagini. Judge delivered a two-run homer — his 17th of the season — to center field to break open a scoreless game, and Giancarlo Stanton followed with a solo shot over the left-field wall to give the Yankees a 3-0 cushion that they carried to a victory.
“I was thinking just to get on base for the guys behind me,” Judge said. “That was the biggest thing for me. The type of lineup we have, we aleady have it rolling. Hitting is contagious.”
