VIDEO: Aaron Judge Hits Absolute Moonshot Homer to Open Scoring in Game 2 of Yankees Doubleheader
By Ryan Giglio
Aaron Judge may be starting to break out at the right time for the Yankees. The slugger hit a long, opposite-field two-run homer in Game 2 of Thursday's doubleheader against the Tigers, getting CC Sabathia some first-inning cushion.
The blast was Judge's 22nd of the season and seventh in his last 16 games. It also gave the Bombers a two-run lead, as New York hopes the big slugger can carry the team come October, especially after their latest power-sapping injury.
