NEW YORK — It didn't matter that Aaron Judge hit 62 home runs during the season. The ruthless crowd at Yankee Stadium will boo anybody if it believes they are underperforming.

And on Friday during the Yankees' 4-2 loss to Cleveland in Game 2 of the ALDS, Judge became the target. As he walked back to the dugout in the seventh inning after striking out for the fourth time on Friday, Yankees fans booed Judge, who is now 0-for-8 with seven strikeouts through the first two games of the ALDS.

With his fourth strikeout on Friday, Judge tallied his fourth four-strikeout playoff game, the most of any player in MLB history. «There's nothing I can do.

I got to play better,» Judge said. «That's what it comes down to. Didn't do the job tonight.» Throughout the game, Cleveland's pitchers targeted Judge with breaking balls down and away on the outer half of the plate.
