Kimbrel gave up a bomb also 3.) We’re playing 15 straight games without a day off Expand 1: But Judge has been the most dangerous hitter in this series. 2. but it was a solo homer. Hendriks has given up 3 bombs with men on in the last 2 days. 3. Agree. But we should be more flexible with pinch hitters and DH. Rest our main guys against bottom feeders but not the Yankees.
