The New York offense was dominant in the matchup, even though their star center fielder Aaron Judge was 0-4 at the plate. Four New York players recorded at least one RBI in the victory: Gleyber Torres, Austin Wells, Anthony Volpe, and Alex Verdugo. The team also received a great performance from Juan Soto, who was 3-5 at the plate in game 1.
