Aaron Judge had this to say about their performance last night. "We came here and played in front of our fans," said Judge, whose 448-foot blast was the third-longest at Yankee Stadium in the Statcast™ era. "There was a lot of energy in this stadium the whole homestand. I think we just kind of fed off that, and our pitching staff came out and did what they did. I think collectively as a team, we just did our job." "according to http://m.yankees.mlb.com/news/article/225340776/yankees-hit-four-home-runs-rout-white-sox/
