LOS ANGELES — Beads of perspiration glistened down Aaron Judge's forehead as the Yankees captain faced the music.
In the Yankees' locker room after New York’s 4-2 loss to the Dodgers in Game 2 of the World Series, Judge stood trial. An imposing crescent of cameras, microphones and outstretched phones gave the struggling slugger little breathing room in Dodger Stadium’s comically cramped visitors clubhouse. Perhaps it was the glare from the blinding TV lights or the heat of too many people in too small a space, but the typically cool character was sweating it out.
