"I'm glad I was able to get two runs on the board early against a former Cy Young winner," said Judge. " I know he has good stuff, so I was just trying to attack him early and get something over the plate."
Other than that, however, this was a night Porcello (1-3, 4.75 ERA) built some significant momentum in his quest to regain his American League Cy Young Award-winning form of 2016.
Just look at the nine strikeouts, which matched his season high of last season.
When Porcello is racking up the K's, it means that his four-seamer and patented two-seamer are working well off of each other.
