Plus: Relentless Padres punch back
When you hit 62 home runs to establish a new American League record during the regular season, people tend to forget about everything else you can do. Sometimes, a gentle reminder is necessary. Aaron Judge gave us that reminder in the first inning of Game 1 of the ALCS at Minute Maid Park. With Astros on first and second and one out, Alex Bregman lined a ball that was destined for the gap in right-center field. Judge got a good jump, made a beeline for where the ball was projected to land and laid out to make a sensational catch. The play was not only aesthetically pleasing, it saved at least a run and probably two. |
