The party line around the Yankees in recent weeks, as Aaron Judge began to emerge from his slow start to the season, was that he was not locked in yet.
The Yankees captain still won’t admit it, but his at-bats recently are indicating otherwise, with Wednesday providing the latest proof.
Judge crushed his 11th home run of the season, a 467-foot moonshot, and added three doubles and a walk to lead the Yankees past the Twins 4-0 at Target Field.
“We’re getting there, we’re getting there,” Judge said with a grin after going 4-for-4 with two RBIs and two runs scored. “Not there yet. Hopefully we get there when we’re talking in November.”
Marcus Stroman aided the cause by tossing six shutout innings to keep the Twins (24-18) in check while the Yankees (29-15) won for the ninth time in their last 11 games.
