NEW YORK — Aaron Judge is off to a strong start this spring when it comes to getting on base and working walks, but in the late innings on Wednesday night at Yankee Stadium, the Yankees needed their captain to break through with a ball in play.
Trailing the Marlins in what turned out to be a frustrating 5-2 loss to cap off this week’s homestand, the Yankees had an opportunity to tie the game or take the lead in both the eighth and ninth innings.
