NEW YORK -- The Yankees sent 10 men to the plate in the first inning against Orioles starter Chris Tillman on Saturday, and no one hit the ball harder than Aaron Judge, who set a Statcast™-era record with a solo home run that featured an exit velocity of 121.1 mph.
Judge barreled his Major League-leading 19th homer inside the left-field foul pole off Tillman, accounting for the first of six runs the Yankees scored in the first inning. The homer traveled a Statcast™-projected 382 feet, with a launch angle of 25 degrees.
