As he’s done so many times in the past, Aaron Judge came up big when the New York Yankees needed it the most in their series opener against Garrett Crochet and the Boston Red Sox on Friday night. Through eight innings, Crochet had completely stifled the Yankees’ offense by allowing no runs to go alongside seven strikeouts as the Red Sox held a tight 1-0 lead. The left-hander inched closer to finishing off the first complete game shutout of his career by inducing a ground ball out from Ben Rice, but he couldn’t retire Judge. On a 99.6 mph four-seam fastball, the Yankees’ superstar unloaded and launched a 443-foot home run, his 26th of the year, well over the Green Monster to knot the score up at 1-1.
