The New York Yankees struck gold with a standout win of 15-3 over the hapless Brewers, but the icing on the cake was the trio of Alex Verdugo, Aaron Judge, and Giancarlo Stanton hitting it out of the park. It’s a feather in manager Aaron Boone’s cap for his last-minute decision to pencil in Verdugo, who wasn’t originally expected to play. That move had some fans’ hopes soaring through the roof about a potential World Series run, although it’s still early days. Nevertheless, the contagious excitement among the die-hard pinstripe nation became too loud to turn a deaf ear.
The Yankees’ trio’s stats vs. Brewers
In tonight’s game, Alex Verdugo shone with 5 at-bats, scoring 2 runs, making 3 hits, and driving in 4 runs, boasting an impressive average of .274. Meanwhile, Giancarlo Stanton recorded 5 at-bats, scoring 2 runs, securing 2 hits with 3 RBIs, and drawing 1 walk, although he struck out 3 times, ending with an average of .241. Aaron Judge managed 4 at-bats, accumulating 2 runs, 2 hits, 2 RBIs, and 1 walk, but he struck out once, landing with an average of .190 and leaving 3 on base.
Manager Aaron Boone’s decision to place Alex Verdugo in the cleanup spot paid off immediately. Verdugo’s impactful three-run homer in his first at-bat set the tone for the Yankees’ offensive explosion against the Brewers. Gleyber Torres also contributed with a crucial three-run double, followed by homers from Aaron Judge and Anthony Rizzo, culminating in a season-high 15 runs for the Yankees in their dominant 15-3 victory.
Despite Judge’s recent slump, he broke out with a two-run homer in the sixth inning, while Rizzo, moved down the lineup for Verdugo, added a two-run blast of his own. Both homers were delivered off Thyago Vieira.
