Why to Watch
1. Solid Gold
Paul Goldschmidt continues to be a force near the top of the Yankees’ lineup—even if Aaron Judge’s absurd numbers draw most of the spotlight. Goldschmidt launched a three-run homer in Friday night’s 3–0 win, going 2-for-4 to raise his average to .361. He has 15 multi-hit games and trails only Judge in MLB batting average.
2. Judge’s Docket
Aaron Judge went 2-for-4 Friday to bump his average to .430. He’s reached base in 31 of 32 games and carries a 12-game hitting streak into Saturday. The only thing that’s slowed him lately? Rays starter Zack Littell, who’s held Judge to 1-for-8 with four strikeouts and a hit-by-pitch in their previous meeting.
