Aaron Judge's power outage established a personal record.
Judge's homerless skid reached a career-high 16 games as the New York Yankees defeated the Boston Red Sox 2-1 in 10 innings on Thursday night.
From August 17 to September 2, 2017, he went 15 games without a home run.
"Home runs, even for guys like him, come in bunches, and you're going to have those stretches," Yankees manager Aaron Boone stated. "I suppose it's wonderful that he's avoided them.
how terrific a hitter he is and how much power he possesses, but I thought he had excellent at-bats tonight and nearly got one."
Rafael Devers caught with a spinning stop and turned into an inning-ending double play in the fifth.
Prior to his home run drought, Judge hit nine home runs in ten games.
"He is getting base hits. He is getting on base. "He's causing traffic," pitcher Nestor Cortes stated. "The homers have not arrived yet, but I am confident they will. "He is a big boy."
