Yankees Aaron Judge continued his recent hot streak of hits and home runs, and J.A. Happ fought through 5.1 innings of fair pitching, but it was not his best stuff by any means.
Judge hit homer No. 25 of the season, and we can only imagine what that number would have been with a completely healthy campaign.
After Happ left with a 3-2 lead, Adam Ottavino closed out the inning with a pair of strikeouts, easily lowering his ERA to 1.82, despite five losses on the season.
With the usual dependability of the Yankee bullpen, a one-run lead still seemed viable, especially with the traditional onslaught of late-inning antics by the Bombers.
