It’s the first night off on the season for the 33-year-old superstar and it’s certainly well deserved. Judge has slashed an outrageous .394/.490/.779 with 25 homers, 59 RBI and six stolen bases through his first 298 plate appearances. While he’s not in the starting lineup, expect to see him off the bench when the right situation arises late in the ballgame.

Judge got the party started for the Yankees in the opening inning, tagging Royals’ rookie southpaw Noah Cameron for a monstrous 469-foot (117.9 mph EV) two-run shot that gave the Bombers a lead they would never relinquish. He also plated a run with an RBI single during the Yankees’ five-run uprising in the sixth inning. He’s slashing an absurd .396/.491/.776 with 24 homers and 58 RBI on the season and is well on his way to repeating as the MVP of the American League.

Judge absolutely demolished a first-pitch fastball from Hunter Dobbins for a 436-foot (108.6 mph EV) opposite-field two-run shot that gave the Yankees an early 2-0 advantage. He also drew a one-out walk in the sixth inning and scored on a sacrifice fly off the bat of Jazz Chisholm Jr. Jude also pulverized a 1-2 fastball from Robert Stock for a 398-foot (108.9 mph EV) two-run shot in the ninth inning. The 33-year-old outfielder is having a season for the ages, slashing an utterly ridiculous .396/.493/.771 with 23 homers, 55 RBI and five stolen bases through his first 64 games.
