'Just when I think there's nothing Aaron Judge can do to surprise me anymore he hits a ball where I've never seen a ball hit in Kauffman Stadium The greatest I'll ever watch,' another one added on X, platform formerly known as Twitter.

Skubal throws 7 shutout innings, Meadows homers as Tigers beat Orioles 4-1
BALTIMORE — Tarik Skubal pitched seven shoutout innings, Parker Meadows hit a three-run homer and the Detroit Tigers beat the Baltimore Orioles 4-1 Thursday night. Dillon Dingler also homered for the Tigers, who rebounded from a 10-1 defeat on Wednesday night to win the deciding matchup of the three-game series. Showing the form that enabled him to unanimously win the 2024 AL Cy Young Award, Skubal allowed three hits and permitted just one runner past second base. The lefty struck out six, walked two and lowered his ERA to a sparkling 1.99. American League-leading Detroit scored all its runs in the fourth inning against Dean Kremer . Dingler hit a drive to center that cleared the wall and the glove of Colton Cowser, who was shaken up from colliding with the barrier. The next two batters singled before Meadows hit his first homer of the season, a drive deep into the right-field seats. Kremer was originally slated to start, but interim manager Tony Mansolino opted instead to use Keegan Akin as an opener. Kremer entered in the second and gave up four runs and five hits in seven innings. Baltimore's lone run came on an eighth-inning homer by Dylan Carlson off reliever Tommy Kahnle. Will Vest pitched the ninth for his 12th save. Meadows fell into an 0-2 hole, then hit a foul ball and took a pitch before launching a four-seam fastball into the right-field seats. With Skubal on the mound, the 4-0 lead was essentially insurmountable. In 12 starts since April 2, Skubal is 7-0 with 101 strikeouts and five walks. In addition, he's given up just one earned run in his last four outings. Tigers: Following this unusually brief three-game road trip, the Tigers return home to face the Cincinnati Reds on Friday night. Orioles: Charlie Morton starts against the visiting Los Angeles Angels on Friday night in the opener of a three-game set.

Yankees star Aaron Judge reacts to Giancarlo Stanton's big comeback with two savage words
Fans are excited to see Giancarlo Stanton back on the field, but his New York Yankees teammate Aaron Judge had something cheeky to say. Stanton is recovering from an injury and played his first rehab game recently. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now But it wasn't just his performance that caught attention—it was Judge's playful comment that stirred conversation. Aaron Judge teases Giancarlo Stanton after his minor league performance in New Jersey On Tuesday, June 4, 2025, Giancarlo Stanton had his first rehabilitation game with the Somerset Patriots in Bridgewater Township, New Jersey. Double-A affiliates of the New York Yankees are the Somerset Patriots. The 35-year-old was put on the injured list in March of this year and has been out since October 2024 with an elbow injury. Stanton had four plate appearances in the game against the Portland Sea Dogs (a minor league team of the Boston Red Sox). Walked in the third inning; grounded out in first at-bat. Then, he hit two strong singles that helped drive in three runs. One of those hits bounced off the center field fence and brought in two runs. The next at-bat added another RBI. He also played just ahead of top Yankees prospects George Lombard Jr. and Spencer Jones. After hearing about Stanton's performance, Aaron Judge, the Yankees' captain, made a funny remark: 'Only singles?' His tone was light, but the message was clear—Judge is expecting big home runs from his teammate. This playful jab came just before Stanton's next scheduled rehab appearance on Wednesday, June 5. Also Read: Giancarlo Stanton's return date still unclear, but Aaron Boone gives hope Yankees manager Aaron Boone spoke after their 10-2 win against Kansas City on Tuesday. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now He said Stanton is improving fast but doesn't have a fixed return date yet. Boone said, 'Stanton just needs to feel ready. He's already had many at-bats, even before starting his rehab games.' Boone added that Stanton's physical recovery is going well and that he's hitting the ball hard again. The final decision will be made by both the player and the team. Stanton last played in the 2024 World Series, where the Yankees lost to the Dodgers. He was their best hitter during that postseason, with seven home runs and 16 RBIs. With his return approaching, fans and teammates like Judge are keeping a close eye—expecting more than just singles.
