Aaron Judge and Shohei Ohtani started off Friday’s World Series rematch with some fireworks.
Ohtani’s Los Angeles Dodgers hosted Judge’s New York Yankees for the opener of their three-game series at Dodger Stadium. Judge got the party started with one out and the bases empty in the top of the first inning.
Dodgers starting pitcher Tony Gonsolin’s 1-1 fastball to the Yankees star caught way too much of the plate. Judge took advantage, launching the ball to dead center for a 446-foot solo home run.
