JUDGE HOMERS TWICE
AS YANKEES BEAT TIGERS IN SPRING GAME
YANKEES 7, TIGERS 1
TAMPA, Fla. -- All rise --
again. Aaron Judge is
back. Judge hit his first two homers of spring training, helping the New York
Yankees to a 7-1 victory over the Detroit
Tigers in a split-squad game on Sunday.
Brett Gardner also
connected twice and Gary Sanchez had
a solo drive as New York went deep six times. The Yankees set a major league
record with 267 homers last season.
Gardner and Judge hit consecutive
homers off Daniel Norris in
the first. Judge went deep again in the fifth, belting a two-run drive to right
that went off the glove of a leaping Victor Reyes and
just over the wall.
Norris allowed three runs and
four hits in 1 2/3 innings. The 25-year-old left-hander is trying to win a spot
in Detroit's rotation.
Masahiro
Tanaka tossed three scoreless innings for the Yankees in his
first spring start. Traditionally one of baseball's most deliberate workers,
the right-hander had no issues with baseball's new 20-second pitch clock.
