Judge and Ohtani Ignite Fierce Yankees-Dodgers Duel with Unprecedented First-Inning Power Showdown
Man, talk about setting the stage on fire—the clash between Aaron Judge and Shohei Ohtani Friday night was one for the ages. These two reigning MVP giants launched monumental home runs right outta the gate during the first inning, reigniting their fierce rivalry as the Yankees and Dodgers squared off again after last season’s epic World Series showdown.
Judge opened the scoring with a thunderous 446-foot blast straight to dead center, a 1-1 pitch from Tony Gonsolin that reminded everyone why he’s a force to be reckoned with. That homer—number 19 this season—saw him leapfrog into a tie for third place across the majors. Then came Ohtani, matching Judge’s fireworks with his own mammoth 417-foot shot right back to center on Max Fried’s first offering, electrifying a packed crowd of 53,276 fans who witnessed the rare spectacle firsthand.
