Talk about a tease. The New York Yankees trailed the Tampa Bay Rays 3-2 in the bottom of the eighth inning. Slugger Aaron Judge stepped up to the plate with a man on base. At first, Judge sent a shot to right field, which squeezed foul by about three feet. On the very next pitch, Judge hit a deep shot to right-center field to give the Yankees a 4-3 lead.

Aaron Judge laid down the gavel, and that's exactly what the Yankees wanted, court is in session!
