Juan Soto, Aaron Judge inseparable duo in American League’s win in All-Star Game
NY Post
ARLINGTON, Texas — Juan Soto looked out for Aaron Judge on the field.
Judge returned the favor off of it.
The traveling Yankees show, comprised of probably the best duo in baseball, was inseparable Tuesday, when the first-year teammates played and acted as if they have spent decades together in the same outfield.
Soto ensured Judge got an at-bat he craved before Judge ensured Soto could dodge a question he did not want to face about his future, the two complementing each other well in an eventual 5-3 American League victory in the All-Star Game at Globe Life Field.
All stars are not created equal.
Shohei Ohtani, whose three-run home run in the third inning gave the National League an early lead, is in his own stratosphere.
With the Yankees on an impressive run of mostly correct decisions, there’s some reason to leave them alone and just let the best team in the American League continue to roll. But they did raise serious doubt and leave room for suggestions (and even ridicule) following maybe the most inexplicable decision of this season, or any season.
The Giants have never been 0-2 under Brian Daboll, until now. They were 2-0 and flying high in 2022 and 1-1 after a rousing comeback in Arizona in 2023. So, this represents a low point as far as early-season difficulties for Daboll and the Giants. They had no business beating the Vikings in the opener and no business losing to the Commanders in Week 2. But here they are.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Harrison Butker kept making a lonely walk to midfield after each quarter Sunday to check on the direction of the wind, which tends to swirl inside Arrowhead Stadium. He did it one last time during the 2-minute warning, when his Chiefs were trailing the Bengals by two and trying to give him a winning field-goal attempt.
