VIDEO: Aaron Judge Snaps Out of Power Funk With 1st-Inning Bomb Against David Price and Boston
By Parker White
The Yankees-Red Sox game was delayed because of weather, but they might need to put the tarp back on the field because Aaron Judge rained on David Price with a first-inning bomb to the opposite field. Take a look!

I know right field at Yankee Stadium lends itself to plenty of home runs, but Judge is a right-handed hitter and he CRUSHED the ball to the opposite field over the fence and 15 rows back.
That was not a cheapie.
You know how Aaron Judge was slumping and then started showing signs of progress the last few days? Yeah, well, he just tanked a ball off Price. Yanks take a 1-0 lead.

Coming into Sunday night's game, Judge was in a huge slump at the plate, hitting .254 with one home run and 25 strikeouts over his last 15 games. Taking into account the fact he stayed in on the ball and drove it the other way for a homer, I'd say Judge is getting ready to heat up and carry this offense.
