Judge slugged 14 home runs in May while slashing .361/.479/.918 with 27 RBI in what was one of the most dialed-in months of his career. The last nine games of the month helped clinch the AL honors as he launched seven home runs with 13 RBI.On the hill, Gil continues to stake his claim as an elite pitcher in the majors — a concept that has come out of nowhere after he missed much of the last two seasons after undergoing Tommy John surgery.
The 26-year-old went at least six innings in each of his six starts last month including an eight-inning gem on May 29 against the Los Angeles Angels in which he allowed just one run on two hits with nine strikeouts.Pantorno is the executive sports editor of amNewYork — a position he has held since January 2020.
