Aaron Judge Makes Opening Day History

Judge became the first reigning MVP to strike out four times in an Opening Day game. He also becomes the third Yankee to strike out four times in the same spot, joining Giancarlo Stanton and Oswaldo Cabrera. The previous mark for most strikeouts by a reigning MVP in a team’s first game of the season was three: Willie Stargell (1980), Sammy Sosa (1999), Mike Trout (2015), Josh Donaldson (2016) and Kris Bryant (2017).
