After a brilliant debut outing for Rays lefty Brendan McKay, it didn't take long for the Yankee lineup to get to him on Friday. Aaron Judge, the second batter of the evening, took him deep with an oppo taco on a 2-0 count.

All Rise!
That was the first run allowed of McKay's young career, and it came off a household name. This wasn't the first time these two crossed paths, though -- McKay pitched to Judge in Triple-A when Judge was rehabbing from an oblique strain this season.
The bomb was Judge's 8th of the year as he's looking to pick up the pace and make up for the time he lost to injury.
