Judge gives Yanks a scare, but sprawling catch preserves win


NEW York — Giancarlo Stanton and Miguel Andujar had already joined the Yankees' long injured list when Aaron Judge sprinted into right-center field and made a spectacular, sprawling grab on Niko Goodrum's hard-hit liner to preserve a two-run lead in the eighth inning.


"That's one of those dangerous plays for an outfielder," New York manager Aaron Boone said Monday night after Judge preserved a 3-1 win over the punchless Detroit Tigers.


They joined a group of sidelined Yankees that includes pitchers Luis Severino, Dellin Betances, Jordan Montgomery and Ben Heller, shortstop Didi Gregorius and outfielder Jacoby Ellsbury; pitcher CC Sabathia is set to be added to the injured list Wednesday, after he completes a suspension for hitting a batter with a pitch last September.


New York scored its second run in the third when Greg Bird's one-hop, opposite-field single glanced off the glove of Christin Stewart and bounced behind the left fielder.


Detroit scored in the fourth when German bounced a wild pitch with two on and Sanchez was charged with an error for the third straight day when his catchable throw sailed by the glove of second baseman Gleyber Torres.


He was perfect for 6 2/3 innings against Toronto last Thursday before Teoscar Hernandez's single, the longest perfect-game bid in a season opener since Boston's Lefty Grove in 1940, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.
