Yankee Stadium, Anthony Rizzo delivered a game-changing blow for the New York Yankees. His three-run home run in the third inning powered the Yankees (22 – 13) to a 5-3 victory over the Detroit Tigers, clinching the series.
Key Moments:
- Rizzo’s Clutch Blast:
- In the bottom of the third inning, with the Yankees trailing by one run, Anthony Rizzo stepped up to the plate. With two runners on base, Rizzo connected with a pitch and sent it soaring into the right-field seats. The crowd erupted as the ball cleared the fence, giving the Yankees a 4-2 lead. Rizzo’s timely hit shifted the momentum in favor of the home team.
- Aaron Judge’s Ejection:
-
- The game wasn’t without drama. In the seventh inning, Yankees star Aaron Judge was ejected for the first time in his career. He vehemently argued a strike-three call and was promptly tossed from the game. Despite his absence, Judge’s earlier contributions—a pair of hits, including an RBI double—played a crucial role in the Yankees’ offensive effort.
