Aaron Judge’s bat — and oven mitt — sparks Yankees in laugher over Brewers
NY Post
MILWAUKEE — Credit Aaron Judge’s left hand for its first save of the season.
As the Yankees’ captain slid into second base during the sixth inning, his outstretched hand bore the brunt of Willy Adames’ attempted throw to first — on a play that crew chief Andy Fletcher later said should have been called interference — breaking up what would have been a double play.
One pop out later, the Brewers should have been out of the inning in a tie game.
Instead, Judge’s large paw — made a bit bigger with the oven mitt he wears that doubles as a protective glove while running the bases — gave the Yankees an extra life.
They took advantage and then some.
With two outs, the Yankees exploded for a seven-run rally, overwhelming the Brewers for a second straight day to claim the series with a 15-5 win on Sunday afternoon at American Family Field.
