Gerrit Cole strikes out 11, Aaron Judge hits 49th home run as Yankees beat A's 3-2

OAKLAND, Calif. — Gerrit Cole is having a blast watching Aaron Judge clobber baseballs over the fence at a remarkable rate.

And Judge, well, he sure loves seeing Cole pile up strikeouts from his spot in the outfield.

"Especially in center field," Judge said. "In right field you're just kind of reacting over there, you really don't get to see guys paint corners or what they're doing. But when you're in center field and can watch a guy like that work and strike out the guys he did, the sequences he did, he was on from the very first pitch he threw.
