In a thrilling 6-3 victory over the Cleveland Guardians, New York Yankees star Aaron Judge once again delivered a clutch performance, smacking a critical RBI triple that broke the game open in the late innings. Judge, who has been battling minor injuries early this season, demonstrated why he’s regarded as one of the most dangerous hitters in baseball. His three-bagger to right-center field plated two runners and gave the Yankees the lead for good, sending the Yankee Stadium crowd into a frenzy.
Judge’s triple came at a crucial moment, with the Yankees trailing 3-2 in the seventh inning. With two outs, Judge made the most of a mistake pitch and found a gap in the outfield to add insurance runs. His performance was a testament to his resilience and leadership, as Judge has consistently delivered in clutch situations despite dealing with a nagging oblique injury.
Manager Aaron Boone praised Judge’s presence, saying, “He’s a captain for a reason—when the team needs him, he’s there.” Judge’s performance helped lift the Yankees’ offense, which has been inconsistent to start the season, but with Judge leading by example, they seem poised for a strong push as summer approaches.
