- Aaron Judge makes history in rough Opening Night outing
The New York Yankees may have put on a dominant offensive showing in their season opener Wednesday night, but the team was missing any production at the plate from the reigning Most Valuable Player.
Aaron Judge went 0-for-5 on Opening Night as the Yankees defeated the San Francisco Giants , 7-0. Judge struck out in his first four at-bats.

Judge’s performance was historic — according to MLB.com’s Bryan Hoch , Judge became the first reigning MVP to strike out four times in the first game of the season.
Judge struck out swinging once, was caught looking twice and struck out on a foul tip once.
Last season , it took Judge four games to reach four strikeouts.
Judge was the only Yankee not to pick up a hit in the game, with the team otherwise compiling seven runs on 10 hits and 3 walks.
The 6-foot-7 right fielder will have a day off before he gets another chance at his first hit of the season. New York will face the Giants Friday at 4:35 p.m.
