NEW YORK (AP) — His chambers left empty, Aaron Judge still rules right field at Yankee Stadium.
Judge homered for the third straight night, Jordan Montgomery cut up one of the league’s hottest lineups in his 2020 debut and the New York Yankees beat the Boston Red Sox 5-1 on Friday in their first home game of this coronavirus-shortened season.
“Red Sox-Yankees in the Bronx, we knew this place would have been packed,” Judge said. “So it was a little bit different.”
Judge took aim at Yankee Stadium’s short right field porch in the third, a half-inning after starting a double play from right.
