“The Bronx bomber”; “Tell Ohtani, that’s how a real MVP plays” - Yankees fans delighted as Aaron Judge goes deep with second-deck home run 

Aaron Judge and the New York Yankees avoided a sweep against the Los Angeles Dodgers in one of the season's most exciting games. After dropping their second game at home, it was time for the team to rebound against the mighty Dodgers.

The Yanks struggled against the Dodgers in the second game, surrendering 11 runs. Offensively, they scored just three in return. In the series finale, they opened up at the plate as Trent Grisham went deep for a three-run home run to power them to a 6-4 victory.

However, it was Judge who gave them a sense of relief with his towering second-deck home run. Judge extended the team's score to six while their defense restricted them to four runs. Judge's consistency has impressed Yankee fans and they cannot help but praise their captain for his unwavering performance.
