NEW YORK
– Aaron Judge made a pair of outstanding catches in right field in a span of three pitches, robbing Pete Crow-Armstrong of a home run and Dansby Swanson of a single in the fourth inning of the New York Yankees’ game against the Chicago Cubs on Friday night.
The 6-foot-7 Judge leaped at the right-field wall to catch a 327-foot drive by Crow-Armstrong against Carlos Rodón, denying what would have been Crow-Armstrong’s 26th home run.
