New York Is Going To The Postseason Because Aaron Judge Got A Walk -Off Hit Verses Andrew Kittredge, Tampa Bay On Sunday In Bronx New York

New York, the team that wears the pinstripes is going to the postseason because Aaron Judge got a walk-off hit verses Andrew Kittredge, Tampa Bay on Sunday in Bronx New York

Before Aaron Judge’s walk-off hit that secured the 1-0 victory, New York’s postseason berth Rougned Odor sparked New York’s ninth inning rally.

How?

with a sharp single to center field, yielding to pinch-runner Tyler Wade, who tagged up on a deep flyout. Anthony Rizzo ripped a hit to right field, prompting the Rays to lift left-hander Josh Fleming in favor of right-hander Andrew Kittredge.

With the count 2-2, Judge lashed a slider that tipped off of Kittredge’s glove, trickling to the middle of the infield grass. Second baseman Brandon Lowe whipped the ball to catcher Mike Zunino, but not in time to nab Wade, who dove headfirst and dragged his left palm across home plate.

Defensively Gio Urshela had a daring sixth-inning catch, electrifying a Stadium crowd of 40,409 as the shortstop tumbled into the visiting dugout at full speed, sprinting to catch Austin Meadows’ popup.

Second baseman Gleyber Torres saved two runs, smothering a hard Joey Wendle grounder to end the fourth inning. The Yanks played fine defense behind Wandy Peralta, Clay Holmes, Chad Green, Jonathan Loáisiga and Aroldis Chapman, who all held the 100-win Rays down. It was the brand of performance that Judge hopes to see about a dozen more times this month.

Jameson Taillon started for New York and hurled 3 1/3 scoreless frames, one outing after the right-hander’s season seemed to be in jeopardy after sustaining a re-aggravation of the torn ligament in his right ankle. Jameson Taillon threw 45 pitches before the Yankees shifted into their bullpen game plan.

Aaron Judge had this to say about his hit that turned out to be the game winner!

You’ve got to embrace it, That’s what popped into my head: You’ve got to embrace every single moment, every single opportunity. Getting the chance to be playing out there at Yankee Stadium in a game that if you win, you get a chance to go to the postseason? Very few individuals get a chance to say that. That’s a privilege.”

Aaron Judge had this to say about the starting pitches, relief pitchers!

We’ve got a great starting rotation, and our bullpen is fantastic,” Judge said. “We were able to showcase that a little bit today. Even our offense, I know we only got one run today, but it’s a lot of good at-bats -- a lot of quality at-bats, a lot of tough outs. When you’re able to do that in the postseason and wear teams down, those are the teams that really make it far.”
