The New York Mets' pitching strategy against Aaron Judge on Tuesday was simple: Pitch around the sizzling slugger and make someone else beat them.
"He was being careful, especially with what Soto's doing in front of me and what we've been doing all year," said Judge, who is batting .309 with 35 home runs and a 1.114 OPS this season.
Judge passed the baton Tuesday three times to first baseman J.D. Davis and Davis failed to take advantage. The veteran infielder struck out to end the first and fifth innings.
