Aaron Judge got the night started for Team USA with a two-run shot in his first-ever WBC at-bat. The captain finished 1-for-4 with two walks and three runs scored, but he could have done a lot more damage. In his second at-bat, Judge had his bat sawed off by 17-year-old Joseph Contreras — son of former Yankees pitcher Jose Contreras — to ground into an inning-ending double play with the bases loaded.
