Yankees' Aaron Judge on Red Sox's Brayan Bello Throwing at Him: 'It's Baseball'

New York Yankees star Aaron Judge seemingly took no exception to Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Brayan Bello nearly hitting him with a pitch on Saturday.

Judge saw the move as just part of baseball, brushing off any speculation that it was intentional.

"It's baseball. It missed," Judge said. "Nothing much I can do besides take it and go to first. It is what it is."

Judge also explained his decision to carry his bat to first base with him after hitting a home run later in the game.

"I thought I did that every time," he said.
