\"Aaron<\/p>\n

In an epic battle that featured seven home runs and 21 runs scored, the New York Yankees defeated the Los Angeles Angels, 11-10, on Monday night by way of a walk-off wild pitch in the bottom of the ninth. Isn\u2019t baseball great?<\/p>\n

On a night in which it seemed Yankee Stadium was unwilling to hold any flyballs, a pair of three-time MVPs,\u00a0Aaron Judge\u00a0and\u00a0Mike Trout, both mashed two baseballs out of the yard. Yankees outfielder Trent Grisham added two homers of his own, including the most clutch of them all, which tied the game in the ninth inning. Even typically light-hitting Yankees infielder Jose Caballero got in on the act with an early solo shot for the home team.<\/p>\n

Mike Trout a bomber in the Bronx<\/h2>\n

Trout has always enjoyed swinging the bat at Yankee Stadium. The\u00a0future Hall of Famer now has 10 homers over 31 games in The Bronx, owning a 1.116 OPS with 22 runs driven in across 136 plate appearances.<\/p>\n

Trout\u2019s success in NYC, and overall for his illustrious career, is not lost on Judge. Following his club\u2019s much-needed win, which snapped a five-game losing streak, the Yankee captain heaped some high praise Trout\u2019s way. Judge even went so far as to label Trout \u201cthe greatest of all-time.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It\u2019s no wonder that Judge \u201chates to see\u201d Trout and the Angels visit, stating that \u201cevery time he (Trout) comes to the Bronx, he puts on a show.\u201d Judge did admit that \u201cit\u2019s fun competing against a guy like that.\u201d The Yankees will get to do so again on Tuesday night and the following two days.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
