Brett Gardner hit a walkoff homer last night, giving the Yankees a dramatic 11-inning win. A grand celebration ensued. And then a trip to the dentist presumably ensured for Aaron Judge.
Seems that Judge broke a tooth during the scrum, as Gardner’s helmet -- which was bouncing around, not on Gardner’s head -- bounced up and smacked Judge in the mouth. Judge quickly went to the clubhouse and wasn’t available for comment afterward. If he was, he likely would’ve said “Thith wath a great win. Gardner juth looked for hith pitch and put a good thwing on it.”
Judge is expected to make the start tonight for the Yankees.
