Max Fried delt against the Pirates, only giving up 1
The Yankee lineup took it from there, with the bottom of the lineup performing especially.
Fried also had this great Pickoff:
I also noticed that there were a lot of runs scored with 2 outs today, which was cool to see. Jasson Dominguez had a 2 hit game and Oswaldo Cabrera and Anthony Volpe both had 3-hit games.
As I mentioned above, Judge homered, again. His 321st career HR in his 1,000th game played. No matter how many times I watch him, he STILL continues to impress me. Aaron Boone in his post game was asked if he believes Judge will be a Hall of Famer, and he said:
“No Brainer”
When Judge was asked about his performance through his 1,000 career games , he said:
“ It’s great praise, but I live in the present. You know, we’ve got things to do. We’ve got a lot of work to do, so we’ll talk about that in a couple of years.”
The Yankee Bullpen continues to have holes, as Fernando Cruz gave up a 3-run HR to Ke’Bryan Hays to make things a little closer, but Boone went to his best in the 9th inning and he showed up.
I will close by mentioning that the Yankees have not had an Error since their 5-error game on Saturday.
