Judge has been pretty great as well. With a 3-for-4 performance on Saturday, the All-Star and reigning MVP is leading the league with a .358 average and a 1.204 OPS. He also has 81 RBI. His 35 home runs, meanwhile, are second in baseball – Seattle’s Cal Raleigh has 38 – and the most ever by a Yankee prior to the All-Star break.

Marte, who went 3-for-5 in the matinee game, roped a ball to right field in front of Judge, who hustled and dove to make the catch for the final out of the frame, keeping the Yankees ahead.

New York Yankees superstar slugger Aaron Judge took a ball to the face via friendly fire during Saturday's road stand against the New York Mets. During an inning shift, Yankees shortstop Anthony Volpe accidentally hit Judge in the face. The game replay makes it look like pretty gnarly contact, but Judge just needed a bandage to return to the game.
