Framber Valdez and Bryan Abreu get Yankees slugger out in key situations with breaking...
Fans react after Houston Astros right fielder Kyle Tucker makes a leaping catch on New York Yankees Aaron Judge’s fly ball in the eighth inning during Game 2 of the American League Championship Series at Minute Maid Park on Thursday, Oct. 20, 2022, in Houston.Baseball’s 2022 home run king stepped into the batter’s box on Thursday representing the go-ahead run for the second time that evening and put the Astros in an unenviable position. They knew all too well the challenge he posed.
Judge crushes fastballs like nobody’s business, batting them at a .341 clip. He entered Thursday’s game averaging .317 and slugging .739 against breaking pitches this season. Two Houston hurlers who predicate their arsenals on breaking balls teamed to disrupt him in gargantuan at-bats. Judge is 1-for-8 against the Astros through two games of the AL Championship Series. The Yankees slugger went 0-for-4 in Wednesday’s Game 1 with three infield outs against Justin Verlander and a strikeout against Rafael Montero.
