There was a brief pep talk within the Yankees’ clubhouse during the half-hour break of Thursday’s doubleheader, after the team had been limited to two hits in an uninspiring afternoon performance. The Yanks had lacked energy, Aaron Judge said, imploring his teammates to be more aggressive at the plate.
Then, Judge showed exactly what he meant, pouncing on a fastball and rattling the glass windows of the restaurant over Monument Park. Judge and Gary Sánchez clubbed homers to power the Yankees’ 5-3 victory over the Blue Jays, securing a split of the seven-inning doubleheader at Yankee Stadium.
