Aaron Judge continues to put the league on notice \u2014 and his even fellow star teammates are chiming in on his dominance. After Judge\u2019s two-homer performance in Sunday night\u2019s 11-7 loss to the Boston Red Sox, Yankees teammate Paul Goldschmidt didn\u2019t hold back his admiration for the Bronx Bomber\u2019s continued excellence.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe’s been doing it all the time,\u201d Goldschmidt said. \u201cThat’s why he’s probably the best hitter on the planet right now. He’s been doing it for multiple years, too. It’s not just a one-night thing. We’re all almost in awe of him.\u201d<\/p>\n

Judge\u2019s two blasts Sunday were part of a 3-for-4 night that lifted his season batting average to a jaw-dropping .396 with a 1.264 OPS. His first homer came in the opening frame \u2014 a 436-foot rocket off Boston rookie Hunter Dobbins on the very first pitch he saw. The second came in the ninth off Robert Stock, tying him with Lou Gehrig for third-most multi-homer games in Yankees history (43). Only Babe Ruth (68) and Mickey Mantle (46) have more.<\/p>\n

\u201cAny time you get mentioned with those legends, it’s quite an honor,\u201d Judge said postgame. \u201cBut it would’ve been sweeter to talk about it after a win.\u201d<\/p>\n

Aaron Judge continues to put the Yankees on his back, despite loss to Red Sox<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Article Continues BelowJudge\u2019s monster game came with some extra motivation. Prior to the game, ESPN\u2019s Eduardo P\u00e9rez told Judge about Dobbins\u2019 headline-grabbing quote from the day before, where the Red Sox rookie said he\u2019d rather retire than sign with the Yankees.<\/p>\n

\u201cI’ve only heard Ken Griffey say that, so I was a little surprised,\u201d Judge said. But he didn\u2019t forget. The AL MVP stepped into the box with that comment fresh in his mind and promptly sent Dobbins\u2019 fastball into orbit.<\/p>\n

Still, Judge\u2019s individual brilliance couldn\u2019t lift New York to a win. The Yankees\u2019 pitching staff was rocked by five Boston home runs, including a back-breaking three-run shot by former Yankee Carlos Narv\u00e1ez in the sixth inning off Carlos Rod\u00f3n. It was Narv\u00e1ez\u2019s first career homer \u2014 and it came against the team that signed him back in 2015.<\/p>\n

Boston\u2019s 27 runs in the series marked their highest total in a three-game set at Yankee Stadium since 2005. Despite DJ LeMahieu\u2019s homer and a late rally attempt, the Yankees couldn\u2019t keep up.<\/p>\n

Jazz Chisholm Jr. weighed in on Dobbins\u2019 pregame remarks during ESPN\u2019s broadcast, saying, \u201cI love competitiveness. But to say that, being a rookie, is kind of crazy to me, to say that you’re going to rule out one out of 30 teams to be a professional athlete.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Yankees (now 50-27) will regroup as they travel to Kansas City, where Max Fried is set to face off against rookie lefty Noah Cameron. Meanwhile, Aaron Judge continues to lead by example \u2014 both at the plate and as the captain of a team looking to get back on track.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
