With a runner on first base and his team down 5-3 in the seventh inning, Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge looked to provide a spark of offense against the Red Sox.
But the rookie couldn’t connect for a hit on any of Joe Kelly’s pitches, fouling off three before striking out. In addition to throwing a fastball that clocked at 104 mph on the stadium radar gun, Kelly recorded three other pitches north of 100 mph and mixed in a 92-mph slider.

Judge — who David Ortiz said is “the scariest thing” he’s ever seen — had high praise for Kelly after the game.
