Winning against the Tampa Bay Rays has become extremely important for the New York Yankees, especially after everything that went down last season. The Bombers started their series with the right foot, taking the first game backed up by a phenomenal performance by Jordan Montgomery on the mound and their best offensive player.
Yes, it may not always look like it, but Aaron Judge is the Yankees’ most dangerous offensive weapon with his ability to take walks and impact the game with his huge raw power. Yesterday was no exception, as he was able to drive a Luis Patino offering into the stands to give his team the lead.
