Yankees slugger Aaron Judge flexes arm power against Rays
NY Post
TAMPA — Aaron Judge entered Thursday on fire at the plate, then offered a reminder he is not just an offensive force.
Shortly after giving the Yankees an early lead with an RBI single in the top of the first, Judge helped save a run in the bottom of the frame when he threw out a runner trying to go first to third in what became a 6-3 win over the Rays at Steinbrenner Field.
Judge, known for his big arm, fired a bullet to third base to nab Kameron Misner for the first out and save Will Warren from having runners on the corners with no outs.
“Wow, what a throw,” manager Aaron Boone said. “I’m sure they told Misner before the game [about Judge’s arm], but he got to live it. That’s about as good as you’ll see right there.”
The Rays also got to live some of Judge’s red-hot start to the season.
They kept him in the ballpark but he went 1-for-4 with a walk, reaching base multiple times for the 10th straight game, tying a career high.

Suddenly, someone had hit a rewind button and everyone had been transported back seven months. It was early spring instead of late fall, it was broiling hot outside the arena walls and not freezing cold. Everyone was back at TD Garden. There were 19,156 frenzied fans on their feet begging for blood, poised for the kill.
