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.
