But that didn’t stop Verlander and the Astros from doing what they do best, win. 238/.314/.444 with three homers and 21 strikeouts against the Blue Jays this season.It was a wet and windy night outside, with Imelda heading for the ballpark. The 30-year old who is playing for a lot more than history this season goes into Monday’s game slashing. He is also just 0-for-5 with a walk against Gausman this season. Judge has only hit one home run in the Rogers Centre this season. All of those, however, came back in 2017. Monday night, he faces Blue Jays’ Kevin Gausman, who he has gone 8-for-22 against with three homers. Judge is 4-for-15 with six walks since his last home run. “It’s just it’s just another game to me.” “I’ve played in New York for six years now, this is par for the course, especially the playoff games we’ve had, opening days are hectic,” Judge said.

We were obviously the best team the first half, hit a rough patch and obviously I think that when we were in there we said you know the weather will pass and we were just helping out each other and not blaming each other and I think these past 10 or 20 days have been different for us and we’re playing great baseball now and hopefully we’ll continue.” But we relied on the guys that were in there. “We never thought that there was a sense of urgency. “I think as a team, we never panicked,” Cortes Jr. It took winning 15 of their last 19 games to get here. Considering the Yankees brutal August, it’s a relief they are at this point. That comes with a first-round bye and home field advantage in the division series. “Have quality at-bats, pass a baton the stuff we’ve been doing, you know, all year so, you know, especially when it comes down to crunch time like this, don’t overthink it won’t be where we want to be.”Ī win over the Blue Jays gives the Yankees a division title and secures the No. “Stay focused, don’t try to do too much, keep doing what we’ve been doing the past couple days staying aggressive,” Judge said after Sunday night’s rain-shortened win over the the Red Sox.
