Aaron Judge is more than just rippling muscle.
The New York Yankees slugger - and the MLB leader in home runs - was having a rough day at the plate, having gone down on strikes in three at-bats against Tampa Bay Rays starter Chris Archer.
So, he shifted his focus to his fielding in the sixth inning, ranging a long way to take away what looked like a sure double by Evan Longoria with a diving snag before doubling off Corey Dickerson at first base. The fantastic play preserved the Yankees' 3-2 lead.
