Judge and Ohtani Ignite Fierce Yankees-Dodgers Duel with Unprecedented First-Inning Power Showdown
“I felt like he was copying me,” a smiling Judge said.
It’s the first time reigning MVPs homered in the first inning of a game in major league history. Barry Bonds of San Francisco and Miguel Tejada of Oakland were the first reigning MVPs to homer in the same game, including the World Series, on June 30, 2002.
“I really thought it was important to be able to score another run in that situation, knowing that momentum is really important,” Ohtani said through a translator.
Judge downplayed the tit-for-tat with Ohtani.
