For the New York Yankees, if Saturday night was the Gio Urshela show, then last night it was all slugger Aaron Judge. Judge hit a homer to hit a long ball in five straight consecutive games and added one in the eighth to win it for the Yankees.
James Paxton, the Yankees starter, got roughed up again but went three innings this time, giving up three runs, which is an improvement from his outing against the Nationals when he went only one inning. The Red Sox didn’t give the Yankees much competition in the first two games, but played really well in this game, particularly Xander Bogaerts and Raphael Devers.
