Judge tips Rice ahead of Scherzer changeup, leading to HR

NEW YORK -- Aaron Judge helped the New York Yankees with his arms even before saving a run with his glove, signaling Max Scherzer's pitch tipping ahead of Ben Rice's three-run homer in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Toronto Blue Jays.

Standing off second base, Judge spread his arms ahead of a pair of Scherzer changeups in the first inning after getting a signal from Cody Bellinger, the runner at first. Rice prolonged his at-bat with a long foul ball on the full-count pitch, then homered off a fastball on the 10th pitch of the at-bat for a 3-0 lead.
