Yankees React to Aaron Judge's Historic Moment in Yankees Game
Yankees React to Aaron Judge's Historic Moment in Yankees Game originally appeared on Athlon Sports. On Friday, the Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Yankees began a three-game weekend series at Dodger Stadium, and it has been billed as a rematch of last fall's World Series. Advertisement The Dodgers bludgeoned the Yankees last year to win the world championship, and while the series was initially expected to be a classic and be very competitive, Los Angeles prevailed in just five games. Friday's game was a historic one, as reigning league MVPs Shohei Ohtani and Aaron Judge each hit home runs in the first inning. It was the first time in Major League Baseball history that the reigning MVPs from both leagues homered in the first inning of the same game. Judge struck first in the top of that inning with a dinger into center field that opened up the scoring. Judge won his second American League MVP in three years last season with 144 RBIs and 58 home runs, both of which led all of MLB. Advertisement Ohtani, meanwhile, had a National League-high 130 RBIs and 54 homers, and he became the first player in MLB history to have at least 50 homers and 50 stolen bases in the same season. He came into Friday with 20 home runs this season, which was more than anyone else in the majors. New York came into this game in first place in the AL East with a sizable cushion over the second-place Tampa Bay Rays. The Dodgers, meanwhile, are also in first place in their division, but they're trying to hold off the San Diego Padres, who are just 1.5 games behind in second place.

MLB Posts Strong Griffin Canning Statement Amid Dodgers Series
MLB Posts Strong Griffin Canning Statement Amid Dodgers Series originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The New York Mets have been hot of late. They have won nine of their last 11 games, and on Wednesday, they looked to take a 2-1 lead in their current four-game road series against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Advertisement This series is a rematch of last October's National League Championship Series, which L.A. won in six games. The Mets held on to win the first game of this series by a final score of 4-3 on Monday before some late-game heroics by Max Muncy and Freddie Freeman sunk them in extra innings on Tuesday. In Wednesday's game, New York pitcher Griffin Canning shut out the Dodgers in six innings of work, allowing the team to win, 6-1. It was his seventh start this year in which he has allowed no more than one run. Since entering Major League Baseball in 2019 as a member of the Los Angeles Angels, Canning hasn't made the All-Star team, and his lowest ERA in a full season was 3.99, which he achieved in 2020. But that year, he won the Gold Glove award. Advertisement He signed as a free agent with the Mets in December. He could be en route to a career year, as he had an ERA of 3.23 and a 5-2 record coming into Wednesday.

Afterward, New York will head east for a three-game road series versus the Colorado Rockies.
