Ugh, I guess I could be forced to wait one more day for Judge to hit number 61. I suppose we’ll just have to settle for the pair of doubles to maintain his Triple Crown bid. In all seriousness, it’s been a privilege watching him play all season, and each day that he doesn’t surpass the record makes me that much more excited to get up and see if he can do it the next day. The Yankees clobbered the Pirates, 14-2, which became all the more crucial as several of their AL rivals fell on Wednesday
The Astros did the Yankees a huge solid, handing the Rays a 5-2 loss to complete the three-game sweep.
