Cleveland is in trouble. Not because they are down 2-0 in the best-of-seven series. Not because they have a rookie manager who inserts Austin Hedges into critical offensive situations where he is totally outmanned and pulls his best starter after one out in the second inning.
Cleveland is in trouble because Aaron Judge has woken up.
Judge hit 58 home runs and drove in 144 runs during the regular season. Before last night, he had no home runs and one RBI.
He hit one last night, a two-run homer. And drove in three runs total. The Yankees won by three, 6-3.
If Judge gets hot, Cleveland is out of luck.
