Red-hot Aaron Judge looking like himself after brutal Yankees start
NY Post
Entering Sunday, Tigers left-hander Tarik Skubal had allowed five extra-base hits in six starts spanning 36 ²/₃ innings.
In two of his three at-bats against the young ace, Aaron Judge had two extra base-hits to the opposite field, a homer and a double, both hit at 104.8 mph or harder.
If ever there was an indication the slugging outfielder is finding his swing, this was it.
“It’s fun going back and forth. I got him the first time, then he comes back and strikes me out,” Judge said. “I was like, ‘All right, I’ll remember that.’ But it’s impressive, man. It’s fun competing against guys like that, especially a young ace of the team like that.”
