It was only a matter of time before Aaron Judge flashed his power for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre and he ushered in the inevitable Thursday night with a two-run blast.
While the Yankees' No. 2 prospect (No. 56 overall) could not keep the RailRiders from a 15-2 blowout loss to Louisville, he provided the organization with confirmation that he was indeed ready to move up. Judge was just 1-for-10 at the Triple-A level entering Thursday's game and had yet to record an extra-base hit. But his 1-for-3 day took care of both his first extra-base hit and home run.
