— Aaron Judge lined a game-winning single on the eve of his salary arbitration showdown, capping a four-run ninth inning that included Aaron Hicks' tying three-run homer off closer Ryan Pressly in theBatting with two on against Ryne Stanek, Judge smoked a 3-0 splitter into the left-field corner to score Jose Trevino from second base.
The switch-hitting Hicks then dug in from the left side and crushed a no-doubter to right field, just the third hit for the Yankees all night and first since Stanton's homer."This was a playoff atmosphere right there," Judge said."When Hicks hit that homer I just looked into the bleachers, everybody was jumping around going crazy. This is a big series, and we're looking forward to tomorrow.
Pressly, a two-time All-Star, entered with a 5.71 ERA in 18 career appearances against the Yankees, including the postseason. "That's when this game's at its best right there, moments like that," he added."Crowd's on their feet, game's on the line. They're the moments in your backyard you dream about."Next up: an unusual in-season arbitration hearing Friday — rulings are usually made in the offseason but were pushed past opening day due to the sport's labor lockout.
Stanton became the first player to homer off Valdez's elite curveball this season, and the left-hander shied away from his best pitch after that — to stellar results. With a heavy dose of sinkers, Valdez struck out seven over six innings, allowing just the three runs on two hits, both in the first inning.
Taillon allowed a season-high six runs, interrupting a stellar first half after years of being hampered by health woes. Houston had 10 hits in 5 2/3 innings against the right-hander.
