Aaron Judge nearly homered his way out of his first day off all year. Instead, in Game 67, the best hitter in baseball finally rested.

Slugger Aaron Judge said a jab aimed at the New York Yankees from the Boston Red Sox's Hunter Dobbins was on his mind just before he crushed a fastball from the right-handed pitcher for a 436-foot, first-inning homer.

Hunter Dobbins raised some eyebrows -- as well as the hackles of several New York players -- with some anti-Yankees sentiments he shared over the weekend.
