When Aaron Judge last faced Sean Manaea on July 26, he recorded a single and walked in his two plate appearances.
Manaea notched the victory thanks to the Mets’ offense exploding for 12 runs, while the Yankees struggled to place balls in play.
The southpaw recorded only three strikeouts — a department within which he seems to fluctuate — and he walked five batters in as many innings.
Judge finished the first Subway Series with back-to-back multi-hit games — both of which featured a home run.
And he had four multi-hit performances in his last six games heading into Tuesday’s 3-2 Mets win, in which he went 0-for-1 with four walks.
The top one percent player in nearly every advanced offensive metric can mash righties no matter where the game is being played, but he’s especially effective at Yankee Stadium, averaging .328 entering Tuesday.
Manaea offers a diverse pitch mix, though he does lean on his sinker almost 40 percent of the time.

Judge hits no other pitch better than sinkers, bashing them for .413, which is his highest mark on them in contrast to any other season.
