Aaron Judge Carries Listless Yankees Offense on His Back to Avoid Series Sweep Against Rays

The New York Yankees are one of the greatest teams in the history of baseball. But to their dismay, this season has not been in their favor. What looked like a great season for the team in the first half has drastically changed in the second. The outfielder, Aaron Judge, seems to be the only one scoring in this half.

 Last night, the Yankees ended the series with the Tampa Bay Rays with a win of 2-1. All Rise helped his team make two runs, which eventually led the Yankees to win after having lost three games in a row.

How did Aaron Judge help his team win last night?

Yankees went scoreless in the first match with the Rays, and in the second one, only one got scored. But last night, the team or Judge scored two runs, which led the team to win.

The team made a hat trick in losing when they lost the second game to the Rays. The Pinstripes have already lost the series against Tampa but last night helped them to have one win against them.

It was also the night where Judge hit another homer, and his total homers this season reached 53.

Judge has predicted 50 for him, which he crossed even before this month started.

Another thing happened last night benches got cleared from both sides for the second time in this series. 

Why did the benches got cleared?

After throwing a couple of bad pitches, Shawn Armstrong threw one so fast that led every member on the field. He threw that pitch to Yankees’ Josh Donaldson, and it caused him to almost fall to the ground.

Needless to say, he was furious and started walking toward Armstrong. The catcher, Christian Bethancourt, came in front of him to calm him down, and let him know it was a mistake.

But Donaldson did not care if it was a mistake or not, he was visibly angry. Which then caused the benches to clear. The game got resumed not long after, and apparently, no punches were thrown.
