Why Yankees' Aaron Judge put Joe Kelly in a headlock

BOSTON -- Joe Kelly might feel lucky he got off so easily.

Mild-mannered giant Aaron Judge could have done far more to the Red Sox pitcher than he did in Wednesday's seventh-inning brawl in the Yankees' 10-7 win at Fenway Park.

Judge put Kelly in a headlock and dragged him -- and just about the rest of the dogpile -- away from the mound and to Boston's dugout.

"I saw Kelly was on top of Tyler (Austin) after he tried to tackle him," Judge said.
