New York won the series opener last night versus Texas, but their victory was not the biggest story coming out of that contest. Reigning AL MVP, single-season AL Home Run King, and franchise icon Aaron Judge left the game in fourth inning with right hip discomfort. As of this afternoon, he’s headed for an MRI, and an entire organization and fanbase waits with bated breath (as does Jake Bauers on the taxi squad).
Clarke Schmidt gets the ball for New York tonight, coming off his best start of the season, though that bar was admittedly extremely low prior to his last outing.
