Yankees owner Judge continued to be hot at the start of the season, with a batting rate of more than 40% in the past month

About an hour and a half before the Cleveland Guardians' series finale against the New York Yankees on Wednesday, Aaron Judge was the spotlight in the visiting locker room in an unconventional fashion — with a TV screen showing highlights of his Tuesday and Thursday hits, pushing his batting average to 0.411 for the season. Teammates Oswaldo Peraza, Pablo Reyes and Jorbit Vivas stopped talking and focused on watching the analysis clips.

Judge continued his dominant run with a 4-2 hit on the night, including a 424-foot three-base hit, to help the Yankees beat the Guardians 5-1. It currently measures 0.415/0.513/0.734 and is tied with Pete Alonso for first place in the major leagues with Pete Alonso on 26 RBIs.

"Continued excellence," Yankees coach Aaron Boone commented. In the first game, he faced Louis J. Luis L. Ortiz hit a 110.9mph three-run (just inches shy of the eighth run of the season) and added a first-base in the second inning. It was Judge's sixth career third base hit, and the third since 2018.

On the offensive end, Ben Rice picked a first-inning tie and loaned Judge to a three-run home run, and Paul Goldschmidt hit a two-run home run to take a 2-0 lead after Cody Bellinger backed in. In the second inning, Rice and Goldschmidt added a first-base hit.

Compared to a 0.191 batting average of 25 games in the same period last year, Judge has 12 hits and 7 hits in three series in Cleveland this season. "Baseball always has its ups and downs," Judge kept a low profile, "and it's all about simplifying the process, and the goal is just better than it was last April." "

Goldschmidt hit 3 hits and 2 hits to support the starter Carlos Rodón, who mainly pitched 7 innings and 8K without self-fault points, and made two consecutive high-quality starts. "His speedball control is getting better," Boone praised. "This week he's Tony Gwynn, and next week he's probably Hank Aaron," he joked. "

The win allowed the Yankees (15-10) to avoid being swept for the first time of the season against the Blue Jays (12-12) who were in the American League Eastern Conference. "We have a lot of confidence, but the season is long," Goldschmidt concluded.
