The hitter Judge hit his first home run of the playoffs, leading the New York Yankees to their second victory over Cleveland
Aaron Judge broke the deadlock in a tight game with a home run in the seventh inning and the Yankees took a 2-0 lead in the best-of-seven series, which continues Thursday at the Cleveland Guardians.
“We have to keep things the same“Judge said at the end of the meeting.”In their house there will be a noisy and fun environment. We have to go out there and continue to play our game… harness the energy and go from there“. The winner of the series will advance to the World Series against the New York Mets or Los Angeles Dodgers.
The Yankees slugger, who leads the MLB with 58 regular-season home runs, hit a shot over the centerfield wall to give New York a 6-2 lead with his 14th career home run in the playoffs.
“It was nice to add two more points,” Judge later added at the end of a game in which his team totally dominated. The batsman then concluded by praising his teammates: “These guys entered the field healthy, feeling good, and especially those who played at the back performed great“.
