In the Yankees’ series opener against the Los Angeles Angels on Tuesday night, a first-inning home run from Shohei Ohtani set the tone for an L.A. victory. He tried doing the same thing on Wednesday, but Aaron Judge wasn’t having any of it. And then, he did Ohtani one better during the bottom of the first.
Judge brought an Ohtani big fly back with a juggling catch to keep the game scoreless at Yankee Stadium. When he stepped into the batter’s box for his first plate appearance of the evening, he showed everyone how it’s done with a homer of his own.
