Yankees threatening to sit Aaron Judge finally ended Sunday's long rain delay with Red Sox

Aaron Judge didn’t homer, but his power was on display elsewhere Sunday night. ESPN pressured MLB officials to wait out an already long and particularly nasty rain delay between the Yankees and Red Sox at Yankee Stadium because the network was desperate to air Judge getting at least one more at-bat in his chase of 61 home runs, a person with knowledge of the situation told NJ Advance Media. The person spoke on the condition of anonymity because he wasn’t authorized to speak publicly.
