Aaron Judge’s Shocking Slump Deepens as Yankees Suffer Fifth Consecutive Shutout Loss to Rangers
Aaron Judge made his way back to the Yankees’ lineup on Tuesday after spending 10 games sidelined with a pesky injury — but if you were hoping his return would reignite New York’s sputtering offense, you’d have been left wanting. The slugger went down swinging twice early and couldn’t find a hit in three chances, falling victim to a masterful performance by Texas Rangers’ pitcher Nathan Eovaldi, who basically owned the mound.
The game stayed deadlocked until the eighth inning when the Rangers finally cracked the Yankees’ pitching staff. Despite a near-flawless combined shutout from New York’s hurlers, closer Devin Williams faltered, allowing the runs that handed Texas a 2-0 victory. Meanwhile, the recently added reliever Phil Maton locked things down in the ninth to seal the deal for the Rangers.
