From then on, his bat went completely silent, while Boston took the opportunity to take complete control of the American League East classic.\n\nThe Yankees scored only four runs in the entire series, matching their worst mark in a three-game series at Fenway Park, previously recorded in 1916 and 1922. The sweep represents the first they have suffered this season for the Bronx Bombers.\n\nBoston manager Alex Cora praised the work of his pitching staff and highlighted the strategy to dominate Judge. “It’s very difficult to face him because he is one of the best at what he does,” he commented. “But we executed our fastballs well and kept him off balance.”\n\n\n

Judge’s batting average dropped to .378 after the series, although his teammates do not doubt his ability to recover. \u201cIf I could have that guy at every turn, I would do it without thinking,\u201d said the young Ben Rice. \u201cHe’ll be fine.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\nIn the last game, Judge had the opportunity to change the course with two runners on base in the eighth inning, but he hit into a double play against Garrett Whitlock, who highlighted the respect he has for the slugger. “He is one of the best hitters in the world. It was special to be able to face him and execute in the moment.”\n\nThe Yankees will look to regroup and put this stumble behind them on their road to October, while the Red Sox celebrate a sweep that revitalizes their divisional aspirations.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
