Aaron Judge crushes first All-Star Game home run

All Rise!!! Aaron Judge set the tone for the 2018 All-Star Game by LAUNCHING a solo home run off hometown starter Max Scherzer in DC during the top of the second inning.

Gleyber Torres was able to capture the moment on his phone from the dugout, and this moment represents the next two faces of the franchise sharing an awesome moment that represents the best baseball has to offer.

Reports had surfaced the NL Manager Dave Roberts was planning to send out Mets righty Jacob DeGrom for the second inning, but he apparently chose to ride the hometown ace for a second inning, and we’re so glad he did.
