Yankees fans were in for very much a panic on Saturday after star Aaron Judge went crashing through the outfield wall in Los Angeles while making a ludicrous catch against the Dodgers.
With New York leading 5-3 in the bottom of the eighth inning, Dodgers designated hitter J.D. Martinez sent a sinker from pitcher Michael King flying into the outfield.
Martinez’s hit started losing steam as it went toward the right-field wall, resulting in a very much coordinated catch from Judge that sent him crashing through the way to the outfield warm up area.
The reigning AL MVP momentarily appeared in danger of exiting the game after trainers came out to look at him following the play. Shockingly, the 31-year-old managed to stay in the Yankees lineup and help his squad close out a big win over their NL West foe.
While Judge’s catch will probably get a lot of merited acclaim, New York would likely really like to see its captain stay away from any comparatively startling situations going ahead.
The Yankees (34-25) as of now sit third in the AL East, 3.5 games behind the runner up Orioles (36-21) and 6.5 games back from the primary spot Beams (41-19).
