The Yankees had an incredible 3rd inning where they scored 13 runs (without a home run).
After the game, Volpe was asked about Aaron Judge when he met with the media (h/t YES Network).
Reporter: “Judge said he said a few choice words before that inning… Kind of wake you guys up a little bit. Did you hear it, and do you think that has any impact when that guy kind of says; let’s go, it’s time to play?”
Volpe: “Yeah, definitely… Any time whatever he says, or obviously how he leads by example and what he does… I think it means a lot when he speaks up.”
Anthony Volpe joins the media to reflect on reaching for his bat for the third time in one frame.
Judge finished Sunday’s win with one hit, one RBI and one run.
