Orioles bothered by ‘strange’ Juan Soto play before Aaron Judge injury
Two innings before Aaron Judge was hit by a pitch on his left hand Tuesday night, the Orioles were troubled by a “weird play” by third baseman Juan Soto in a 4-2 win over the Yankees. Soto, who was leading off at second base, was running toward third base when Giancarlo Stanton hit a slow […]
Yankees’ Aaron Judge, Juan Soto are frontrunners in AL MVP race

Aaron Judge, Juan Soto are inching closer to big historic achievement

Unexpected heroics don’t change state of Yankees without Juan Soto
The sold-out crowd at Yankee Stadium started chanting “We want Soto” for the third straight inning, and you couldn’t blame them: Soto hadn’t thrived in the first two games of this high-profile matchup against the Dodgers, and his replacement, Trent Grisham, was hitting .082 at the plate.
