John Schneider Reacts to Tense Aaron Judge Moment in Game 1

Before the 10–1 blowout, a sixth-inning jam put Judge up with bases loaded. “That’s the last guy you want up,” Schneider said, sticking with Gausman for an eight-pitch strikeout. He cited low pitch count and velocity. Varland then fanned Stanton at 100 mph as the bullpen logged 3.1 scoreless. Kirk hit two homers; Guerrero Jr. opened with a solo shot.
