In a closely contested series between the New York Yankees and the Toronto Blue Jays, Aaron Judge was intentionally walked six times, frustrating his teammate Juan Soto. Soto expressed his displeasure, stating that the strategy, while understandable, 'sucks' as it prevents Judge from showcasing his skills. Despite this, the Yankees clinched the series with a 4-3 win in the final game, highlighted by a walk-off hit from DJ LeMahieu. Soto, who also contributed with a home run, is dealing with a hand injury but remains productive. The intentional walks have boosted Judge's on-base percentage, making him a formidable threat at the plate. This tactic of intentionally walking Judge, however, is likely to persist if the Yankees' lineup does not find ways to capitalize on these situations.
