In an ideal world, Aaron Boone would likely not continue to keep rolling out Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton as his No. 1 and 2 hitters.
But the Yankees don’t exactly have that luxury these days, meaning the one-two slug may continue during the club’s five-game road trip against the Red Sox and Brewers that begins Tuesday in Boston.
Of course, it was only two games, but it was two games in which the Yankees still did not have a full-strength lineup and yet figured out a way to make the most of the healthy pieces they do have.Across the two games, Judge went 4-for-8 with two runs and two RBIs. Stanton, in his first two starts back since fouling a ball off his foot last Monday, went 3-for-7 with two home runs, two walks, four runs and four RBIs.
On Sunday, after Judge singled and Stanton walked to begin the first inning, Torres followed with the first of his two home runs on the day for a 3-0 lead.“I feel like the pitcher on the opposite team is really impacted,” Torres said. “I feel comfortable when I got those guys there because I know what they can do for the team. It just feels a little more relaxed because we don’t have all the pressure and all the weight.
