Adding the insult to injury, Aaron Judge was left bloody right after the fifth lap thanks to teammate Anthony Volpe.
Yankees players threw the ball around as they went against Dugout when Volpe got the ball. He lobbed it in the direction of an unsuspecting judge. The ball came down on the swallow’s right eye and knocked his sunglasses to the ground.
Boone said he was worried first, but the judge seemed to maintain only a small cut.

In the end, I don’t think anything too serious, of course. But yes, originally, obviously very worried.”
Mets have a chance to sweep the Metro series on Sunday.

“We’re cleaning some things. We know what we’re going to do. We take care of business.”
