NEW YORK — The Bronx shook.
Yankees hitter Aaron Judge started a two-run home run at the end of the first run for a 2-0 A-lead in the AHL Wild Card Game on Wednesday night.
The stadium went crazy as Judge's ball passed over the wall, marking leader Andrew McCutchen, who was walking.
The judge snatched Liam Hendriks' 2-1, 96-mph fastball into the stands in the left field.
That would stay that way, because the Yankees would not win another round in the heat.
Boone "pretty excited" in private meeting
Here are some notes of the Yankees entering the game, via the team's media relations department:
