The New York Yankees’ bats have been silenced this week (and also for most of the season), with Braves pitching shutting them out in back-to-back games and the Bronx Bombers not even mustering an extra-base hit in either game.
One at-bat by Yankees star Aaron Judge in Wednesday night’s game was particularly emblematic of the team’s struggles.
Judge, one of the few bright spots in a slumping Yankees lineup, was struck out by Braves right-hander Charlie Morton. All three were knuckle curves that positively baffled the Yankees slugger, with one even making Judge drop to one knee.
