The New York Yankees, despite their ongoing struggle with injuries, managed to score 20 runs in their previous two games, largely due to an impressive performance from a thriving Aaron Judge.
Notwithstanding Judge’s exceptional dominance, the Yankees completed the series-opening victory with one fewer outfielder; Harrison Bader was experiencing tightness in his right hamstring.
