Aaron Judge Leaves Yankees Fans Amazed During Athletics Game
Aaron Judge Leaves Yankees Fans Amazed During Athletics Game originally appeared on Athlon Sports. We don't think we're exaggerating or being over-the-top when we suggest that New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge is extremely good at what he does. Advertisement Judge continued his MVP-caliber season with a home run against the Athletics on Sunday afternoon, his 29th bomb thus far. Facing ex-teammate Luis Severino in the fourth inning, Judge crushed an 0-1 pitch over the left field wall for a two-run homer. Judge added his 30th home run in the seventh inning. Although it's been a tough June for Judge, the two-time AL MVP nonetheless remains among the sport's most potent hitters—and he continues impressing fans along the way. 'THAT BASEBALL HAD A FAMILY,' an X/Twitter user wrote. Added another: 'He sentenced that ball to oblivion.' Judge's second homer marked the 35th instance of a player hitting 30 homers before the All-Star Break. The Yankees captain has accomplished the feat four times since 2017, including a Yankees-record 34 last season. Advertisement 'Even when he's bad he's good,' one fan marveled. New York Yankees right fielder Aaron JudgeBrad Penner-Imagn Images Judge and Seattle Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh are locked in what's becoming a sensational AL MVP race. Although Judge entered play Sunday leading the sport in bWAR (5.7) and OPS (1.161), Raleigh already owns 32 home runs, 62 RBI, and 4.6 bWAR. 'Aaron Judge is not Human,' read one comment. 'Aaron Judge has 29 Home Runs before July,' noted another user, 'the craziest part is that this is like routine for this guy.'

How bad can it get for Mets? Everything goes wrong in sweep in Pittsburgh
PITTSBURGH — It can't get worse than this, right? Unfortunately, the New York Mets found themselves facing that question after each game this weekend against the Pittsburgh Pirates, the worst-scoring team in the National League and a group that was on pace to lose 100 games. With poor pitching, suspect defense and a failure to score more than one run, the Mets' 9-1 loss on Friday night looked like the season's worst. Advertisement Nope. Saturday night's 9-2 loss, which featured Carlos Mendoza's first ejection as Mets manager and led to a players' meeting, overtook the completely-unofficial-yet-nonetheless-dubious distinction. Just not for long. Because then Sunday's 12-1 loss happened. From the beginning of that contest to the end, things looked bad for the Mets. By the end of the first inning, the Mets trailed 5-0. In the bottom of the eighth inning, journeyman outfielder Travis Jankowski took the mound and flung balls at 40 mph — doing so during his latest Mets stint, which is six days old, before ever appearing in the batter's box. From there, the Mets went down in the ninth inning on just 10 pitches. In the three-game series sweep, Pittsburgh outscored New York, 30-4. The Mets, a club that owned baseball's best record just a few weeks ago, have lost 13 of their last 16 games. 'We are all frustrated,' Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said. 'We're better than that, and they know that. It's a tough stretch. We've got to be better, and it starts with me.' The Mets' leadership group doesn't claim to know when the best time to call a meeting is. Saturday's discussion was for anyone who felt there was something to say and to ensure that they had one another's backs. Players said the gist of the conversation was less about pointing out problems and more about reinforcing cohesion. 'Sometimes it is just good to sit down as a team and talk through things,' pitcher David Peterson said, 'whether something came up or whether it's a reminder of, 'Hey, this is somehing we knew was coming and we have the record that we have for a reason and we're a good baseball team.'' Players deemed the session worthwhile. Several veterans, including Francisco Lindor, Pete Alonso, Juan Soto, Jeff McNeil, Ryne Stanek, Reed Garrett and Peterson offered messages to the group. In a clubhouse that was missing other key voices such as Sean Manaea and Jesse Winker (both are rehabbing injuries), a few players pointed out how encouraged they were about an environment in which so many people felt comfortable speaking up. Advertisement 'We have a lot of leaders in this room,' Soto said. 'Guys who have experience on big teams, guys who have been here their whole career and a lot of young, core talent. We have great leadership here and a great way to handle the team going through things.' The meeting failed to translate into a win. Nimmo had cautioned against hoping for a quick fix, saying Saturday after the get-together that things weren't going to be different overnight. Indeed, they weren't. If the Mets proved anything over the weekend, it's that a meeting alone was never going to solve their problems. Their culture can be fine at the same time that their roster contains flaws. When assessing their starting rotation's early-season success, Mets officials figured that there would be some regression. Though not ideal, the Mets could've managed such an expected drop in production if it were a modest dip while other segments of their roster performed well. What they didn't quite anticipate was a complete nosedive. But that's just what has happened. The Mets have gone 12 straight games without a starting pitcher recording an out in the sixth inning. They are missing four starters because of injuries. Sean Manaea is throwing again after dealing with loose bodies in his left elbow, but it's unclear precisely when he will make his next rehab start. Kodai Senga (hamstring) is playing catch. Tylor Megill (elbow) has yet to resume throwing, though that could change next week. And Griffin Canning (Achilles) is out for the season. The Mets plan on using Blade Tidwell as a starter against the Milwaukee Brewers this upcoming week, with Peterson, Clay Holmes, Paul Blackburn and Frankie Montas comprising the rest of their rotation. Holmes is in his first year as a starter and needs to prove that he can withstand the increase in volume. Blackburn is a depth starter. Peterson is in a slump, battling his mechanics. Then there's Montas, who simply didn't have it on Sunday. Advertisement Montas and Mets officials say that the veteran is not only healthy but in an encouraging place concerning his arm. His second start after returning from the injured list looked completely different than the first one, when he pitched five scoreless innings. On Sunday, the velocity on his four-seam fastball was down 1 mph. From the jump, he failed to put batters away, needing nine pitchers to retire Adam Frazier, the Pirates' leadoff batter. From there, he repeatedly missed locations, which led to a walk, four hits, two home runs and five runs — all in the first inning. 'I wanted to go out there and go as long as I can, (but) that wasn't the case today,' said Montas, who allowed six runs and lasted just four innings. In one of Mark Vientos' better at-bats over the weekend, he saw 10 pitches, laying off tough ones just outside the zone and fouling off a few others. Still, he struck out. Pirates starter Mike Burrows fooled Vientos with a slow curveball, the only one during the plate appearance. In his return from the injured list, Vientos went 1-for-13 with five strikeouts over the weekend. Though he had a few hard-hit balls, his only hit was an infield single. Vientos' OPS dropped to .645. During the series, he batted sixth, second and sixth; he's an important part of the lineup. The Mets entered the season needing Vientos and Francisco Alvarez to perform for the lineup to play up to its potential. Alvarez struggled so much that the Mets demoted him to Triple A. Meanwhile, Vientos has struggled to get going, dating back to the first two months of the season (not just this series). The young players aren't alone, though. Lindor, for instance, went 1-for-12 during the series. Before the Mets' brutal 16-game stretch, Lindor, who is playing with a broken toe, owned a .829 OPS. Now, that figure sits at .782. Even with Juan Soto producing one of the best calendar months in franchise history, the Mets' lineup is not long enough for one of their stars to slump. 'The coaches have done a really good job of preparing us, they're giving us everything that we can ask for,' Lindor said. 'It's on us.'

Three Braves takeaways: Profar's return from PED suspension, offensive malaise, Strider improving
ATLANTA — These Atlanta Braves do barely enough to make the optimistic portion of their fan base hold out hope for another midseason turnaround and postseason drive like others the team has had in recent years. But Atlanta lost 2-1 at home Sunday to the Philadelphia Phillies in the rubber game of the series, which left the Braves 7-6 after 13 NL East games in 13 days, a stretch they had said would be important. They are in the same position they were two weeks ago. Advertisement It's not a good position — seven games under .500 with the fifth-worst record (38-45) in the NL. Sitting third in the division, 10 1/2 games behind the Phillies and nine behind the New York Mets. 'We've still got a lot of room to improve, myself especially,' said Braves starter Spencer Strider, who pitched well enough to win Sunday if the bats provided more than a modicum of support. 'Right now, we're not sitting anywhere near where we want to be or where I think we should be. I think everybody feels the same way. 'There's a lot of confidence that we're going to continue to improve. We've just got to do the work for it.' They went 5-2 against the Mets in the past two weeks, but 1-2 each against the Phillies and the fourth-place Miami Marlins, who are just one game behind Atlanta. 'We've played some really good baseball, and then I think we left a few games out there that I think we could have won,' said third baseman Austin Riley, who had a leadoff single in the fourth inning and was still at first when the inning ended. 'Left a few out there. And with where we're at, you've got to capitalize on those moments.' Sean Murphy's 451-foot homer in the second inning was his second mammoth shot in as many days, after a 455-foot grand slam Saturday, and gave the Braves a 1-0 lead. Sean Murphy takes off 😤 It's the @Braves first GRAND SLAM of the season! — MLB (@MLB) June 29, 2025 But Phillies starter Ranger Suárez otherwise handled them with ease for the second time this season, limiting the Braves to four hits, one run and one walk with eight strikeouts in seven innings, after pitching six innings of a May 27 shutout against them at Philadelphia. The Phillies went 0-for-7 with runners in scoring position Sunday, but the Braves didn't even advance a runner to second base until the ninth inning. Advertisement The Braves are off Monday before a three-game home series starts Tuesday against the Los Angeles Angels, when left fielder Jurickson Profar will be back in Atlanta's lineup after serving an 80-game PED suspension. Profar, the Braves' only significant free-agent signee last winter, played just four games before being slapped with a suspension after testing positive for a banned substance. He's coming off a career-best season in which he hit .280 with 24 homers, 85 RBIs and an .839 OPS for the San Diego Padres, more than 100 points above his career .725 OPS. He did that at age 31. So, between the spike in power in his 11th season and the positive PED test, no one seems to know quite what to expect from Profar, other than he'll almost certainly provide more offense than what the Braves have been getting from platoon left fielders Eli White and Alex Verdugo. 'Hope so. We'll see,' Braves manager Brian Snitker said. 'Again, he's had a lot of time off. He's getting the reps and all that (at Gwinnett), and we'll plug him in there Tuesday.' Asked if adding one player could make a significant difference for a struggling lineup, Snitker said, 'Yeah, I think so. It's happened before. One established guy that can lengthen your lineup can be a big deal. Especially him being a switch hitter and the matchup thing.' Profar was 0-for-5 with two strikeouts Sunday for Triple-A Gwinnett, but has hit .326 with three homers and a .991 OPS in 12 games, with eight walks and six strikeouts. Riley said Profar would help lengthen a lineup that's been getting a lot of production from leadoff man Ronald Acuña Jr. and Matt Olson, but no one else consistently. 'Obviously, he's a talented hitter,' Riley said of Profar. 'Especially when you've got a guy like Ronnie (batting leadoff) and Oly (batting second), flipping that to get them more ABs in situations that are big — that can help a lot.' After saying two weeks ago he intended to bat Profar second, Snitker changed his mind due to the good results the Braves are getting with Olson behind Acuña. Advertisement 'I think we can move (Profar) around in kind of the middle of the order,' Snitker said. 'The fact he's a switch hitter and all that's gonna work out good. Because I do kind of like the Olson thing behind Ronald, I think that's real. (Profar) is gonna have to get out here and put your eyes on him, let him play a little bit, see where he's at.' Strider allowed five hits and two runs in seven innings, his longest start since September 2023. He had three walks and four strikeouts, the first time he recorded fewer than six strikeouts in nine career starts of seven innings or more. While he's not blowing away hitters with upper-90s heat at the top of the strike zone like he did before April 2024 elbow surgery, Strider has improved steadily with his fastball velocity while honing secondary pitches. He has a 2.25 ERA in his past four starts — an MLB-leading 33 strikeouts in 24 innings during that span — after posting a 5.40 ERA in his first five starts. That's especially important now, with ace Chris Sale not expected back before mid-August after fracturing his rib cage on June 18. The Braves need Spencer Schwellenbach and Strider to be at their best at the top of the rotation, because the back end is highly suspect. Most of Strider's swings-and-misses Sunday came on sliders, and he induced a slew of groundouts in innings other than the fifth. That's when the Phillies scored twice on an Otto Kemp RBI double, followed by the go-ahead run on a sacrifice bunt and sacrifice fly – the kind of run Atlanta rarely manufactures with its poor situational hitting. 'I didn't execute well enough,' said Strider, always his harshest critic. 'I don't think there's any more nuance to it than that. I simply did not execute as much as I needed to.' Of the Braves' just-completed stretch against NL East teams, Strider said: 'I think we had some great moments, and I just think the consistency, if you ask anybody, is the thing we're still searching for. There's no excuses, and I don't think you're going to find any. The belief that we are a better team is in the clubhouse for sure, at least I hope so with everybody in there. And at some point, that's gonna have to translate into results. That's the nature of the business, everybody knows that. Advertisement 'That's myself more so than anybody. I've lost six games now, I think, so I've certainly not kept up my end of the bargain here. But I know everybody in there wants to be the guy and wants to help the team win, and I think that they're going to exhaust everything they have to try to get that done.' The Braves were in third place in the division and eighth in the NL wild-card standings on June 16, before the last 13 games. And they are third in the division and eighth in the wild-card standings today. They were 7 1/2 games out of the third and final wild-card spot on June 16, and eight games out of that final wild-card spot after Sunday's loss. 'We're still hanging in there,' Snitker said. 'I looked at where we are; we're still giving ourselves a chance. We just need to continue to try and win series. We haven't been eliminated yet or anything. Still, a lot of good can happen. I'm a firm believer in that.' Plenty of their fans believe, or hope, the Braves can turn things around like they did in 2021, when they were 52-55 on Aug. 2 and went on to win the World Series, or in 2022, when they were 10 1/2 games behind entering June and won a sixth consecutive NL East title. But this feels different. This team doesn't exude the kind of confidence and swagger that those Braves teams did before those turnarounds, when they had some big personalities on the roster and the coaching staff, with the boisterous and revered former infield instructor and third-base coach Ron Washington. These Braves haven't teased with a significant stretch of high-scoring, power-surging games that hint at a breakout to come. And an offensive outburst is what it's going to take to get this Braves team into the thick of the playoff race with a sustained stretch of winning. The Braves were tied for 24th in scoring average in June and had 10 fewer runs than the Colorado Rockies in the same number of games. And that's with 22 of the Braves' 104 runs for the month coming in two games — a disastrous 11-10 loss to Arizona in which they blew a 10-4 lead in the ninth inning on June 5, and a 12-4 win against those Rockies during a home series where the Braves won the first two and got embarrassed 10-1 in the finale. Advertisement Besides those two double-digit scoring games, the Braves averaged 4.3 runs in their other 24 June games, including seven in which they scored one or no runs, three of those in the past four days. They were tied for 24th in homers in June with 23 in 26 games, barely half of the 45 apiece for the Mets and Chicago Cubs, and 18 fewer than the Angels. The Braves were 25th in average (.234) for the month and 28th in OPS, ahead of only the Chicago White Sox and Cleveland Guardians. Think about this: The Pittsburgh Pirates (.677) had a higher slugging percentage in June than the Braves. Why, Riley was asked, do the Braves still believe they can turn it around? 'This game will knock you down if you keep letting it,' Riley said. 'You gotta keep pushing back, and guys are gonna do that.' (Top photo of Spencer Strider: Mady Mertens / Imagn Images)
