AdvertisementAaron Judge brought in the Yankees’ first runs in unconventional ways, and their last runs with one big swing. The Yankees’ Gerrit Cole wasn’t much better, leaving with one out in the fifth after giving up six hits and four walks. Aaron Judge finally breaks throughFor just the third time in his career, the hitter before Judge was intentionally walked. Cleveland brought in reliever Cade Smith to face Judge in a situation that could have broken the game open for the Yankees. Judge sent a towering fly ball into Monument Park in straightaway center field for a two-run home run, giving the Yankees a 6-2 lead.

Then the baseball fell to earth, dropping harmlessly into the glove of Yankees right fielder Juan Soto, just in front of the fence. According to the official scorer at Kauffman Stadium, the wind was blowing from right field to left field at 6 mph at first pitch. Not at Kauffman Stadium, where the power alleys are 387 feet from home plate and straight-away right field is more than 370 feet away.
