Aaron Judge is a man of his word.
The New York Yankees outfielder, while meeting an older fan on the field prior to Sunday’s series finale at Dodger Stadium, told the man, “I’ll hit one for you tonight,” as he walked away.

Judge delivered on that promise in his second at-bat, crushing a 1-1 curveball from Los Angeles Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw to deep center field in the top of the third inning.
It was Judge’s 16th home run of the season, and it gave the Yankees a 2-1 lead. Judge had also homered in the first two games against the Dodgers this weekend.
The Yankees would go on to win Sunday’s game 5-1 and take the best-of-three series.
