Why Yankees think Aaron Judge has gone from slumping to hitting bombs again

TAMPA -- The Aaron Judge of old is back.

No. 99 was vintage 2017 Wednesday night with two homers, two walks and a scorcher to second base that should have been a hit in a 9-4 Yankees win over the Baltimore Orioles.

This two-homer, four-RBI night topped his numbers from his first 12 spring games, one homer and three RBIs.

What's the secret to his recent success?

"I actually feel like he's been really good now for a couple weeks," Yankees manager Aaron Boone said of Judge, who led the AL last season with a rookie record 52 homers.
