Some good back-and-forth games. Gotta learn from it, move on and get ready for the next game tomorrow.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Judge finished the game 1-for-5 with 3 strikeouts. But nevertheless sounded confident in the Yankees\u2019 chance to level the playing field in Game Two, before heading home for Game\u2019s Three and Four.<\/p>\n<div id=\"AdThrive_Content_1_desktop\" class=\"adthrive-ad adthrive-content adthrive-content-1 adthrive-ad-cls\" data-google-query-id=\"\">\n<div id=\"google_ads_iframe_\/18190176,25816858\/AdThrive_Content_1\/5ad7479721520f50ab7da88e_0__container__\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"google-ad-manager-fallback-container\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cBecause we know we\u2019ve got another game tomorrow, I think that\u2019s what it comes down to\u201d\u00a0Judge said, when asked about New York\u2019s confidence in bouncing back. \u201cAs tough as this one is, losing a game, the first one like that, we\u2019ve got another chance to even it up before we head back to the Bronx.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Game Two will take place on Saturday, October 26, with first pitch scheduled for 8:08 pm EST.<\/p>\n<h2>Aaron Judge Defends Nestor Cortes<\/h2>\n<p>In the bottom of the 10th inning, with\u00a0Shohei Ohtani\u00a0up to bat, Yankees manager\u00a0Aaron Boone\u00a0sent\u00a0Nestor Cortes\u00a0out to pitch. It was the veteran lefty\u2019s first game action since September 18.<\/p>\n<p>And while he did secure a fly out in his matchup with Ohtani, Cortes would go on to give up the 423-foot grand slam to Freeman after New York opted to intentionally walked\u00a0Mookie Betts\u00a0to load the bases.<\/p>\n<p>Judge defended his teammate when speaking with reporters postgame, saying he has faith in anyone in a Yankees uniform.<\/p>\n<div id=\"AdThrive_Content_3_desktop\" class=\"adthrive-ad adthrive-content adthrive-content-3 adthrive-ad-cls\" data-google-query-id=\"\">\n<div id=\"google_ads_iframe_\/18190176,25816858\/AdThrive_Content_3\/5ad7479721520f50ab7da88e_0__container__\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"google-ad-manager-fallback-container\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cI got faith in all our guys,\u201d\u00a0Judge told reporters on October 25. \u201cIt doesn\u2019t matter who it is, any guy that steps up to the mound. He knows he\u2019s got a job to do. Nobody else I want out there on the mound.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Boone told reporters after the Game One loss that he felt \u201cconviction\u201d in his decision to put Cortes on the mound in the 10th.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJust liked the matchup,\u201d\u00a0Boone said on October 25. \u201cThe reality is he\u2019s been throwing the ball really well, the last few weeks, as he\u2019s gotten ready for this. I knew with one out there, it\u2019d be tough to double up Shohei (Ohtani), if Tim Hill gets him on the ground. And then Mookie behind him, that\u2019s a tough matchup there. I felt convicted with Nestor in that spot.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The rest is history, with Freeman\u2019s walk-off grand slam the first of it\u2019s kind in World Series history.<\/p>\n<h2>Alex Verdugo on Game One Loss: \u2018Take it on the Chin\u2019<\/h2>\n<p>Boone and Judge weren\u2019t the only voices heard postgame in the visitor\u2019s clubhouse. Left fielder\u00a0Alex Verdugo\u00a0was assertive and confident in New York\u2019s need to take the loss \u201con the chin.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTake it on the chin,\u201d\u00a0Verdugo said on October 25. \u201cI mean it\u2019s Tough one, right? One out away. At the end of the day we look at the positives. We played that team very well. We saw a lot of their guys. Our pitchers kept a lot of their guys down. At the end of the day it came down to one swing.
