Juan Soto’s three-word message to Aaron Judge after Yankees star ends World Series slump against Dodgers
Juan Soto appeared to deliver a three-word message to teammate Aaron Judge after the Yankees star finally homered against the Dodgers.
Judge lit the fuse in Game 5 of the World Series with a two-run homer on his first pitch at Yankee Stadium.
It was the 32-year-old’s first home run of the series and came after days of criticism aimed at the Yankees captain.
Footage shows Soto waiting for Judge near the Yankees bench and he appeared to tell his teammate “there’s no one better” before they led the festivities.
The home run gave the Yankees an early lead over the Dodgers as they looked to bring the seven-game series back to Los Angeles.

After Game 3, when the Dodgers triumphed at Yankee Stadium and came within one win of World Series glory, Judge was asked if he was letting his team down.
‘Of course. You want to get the hits. You want to do your job,” he said.
‘But I’m not doing my job at the moment. I have to pick it up.”
