Aaron Judge said that he always circles the home opener when the Yankees’ schedule is announced, looking forward to hearing the ovation as he trots to the first-base line during introductions. This year, those cheers were artificial, but the slugger’s bat remained as loud as ever.
Judge homered for the third consecutive game on Friday, while Gio Urshela and Brett Gardner also went deep. The power display supported Jordan Montgomery’s first win in more than two years as the Bombers celebrated the Yankee Stadium home opener with a 5-1 victory over the Red Sox at Yankee Stadium.
