Aaron Judge went 0-for-2 with three walk, but his pitching staff and defense helped make sure he preserved his lead for the batting title.
“[Bogaerts] is a great hitter who we gotta try to figure out a way to keep at bay and neutralize,” manager Aaron Boone said before the game.
But Refsnyder had some appreciation and perspective for the race, especially after playing with Arraez last year in Minnesota to give him insight into the top three contenders. Judge was hitting .274 with 31 home runs on July 15. But a dominant second half — he was hitting .388 with 29 home runs and a 1.405 OPS over his last 57 games entering Thursday — has vaulted him into the batting title conversation, which is the only leg of the Triple Crown that was still close. Judge’s 60 home runs led the AL by 23 and his 128 RBIs led the Guardians’ Jose Ramirez by 13.
