Judge crushes three-run HR in loss
Aaron Judge crushed a three-run homer Sunday against the Guardians. The 450-foot blast left his bat at 114 mph. Judge had gone six straight games without an RBI prior to the homer today. The singles just haven’t been there this year, but eight of his 12 hits have gone for extra bases, and he’s walked 16 times, giving him an .821 OPS in spite of a .207 average. It also helps that all three of his homers have come with men on base, supplying seven of his nine RBI. Last year, 23 of his 37 homers were solo shots.
Springer collects to hits in win vs. COL
George Springer went 2-for-4 with two runs scored, and a steal in a win over the Rockies on Sunday. Springer has been showing much better plate discipline this season, but the results hadn’t followed. They are starting to show now. Springer is hitting .222/.319/.349 with nine runs scored and two steals on the season. With Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Bo Bichette also struggling, the numbers haven’t been there, but we should expect all three to get going soon.
