asserted
presence → get → difference
It was a fitting way to open the playoffs for the lefty slugger — who found himself in the AL MVP conversation early in the season, before Judge went down with the fractured rib that cost him more than three months.
asserted
that → open → months
Rice, like most of the rest of the Yankees offense, survived for the first few weeks of Judge’s absence before falling into a slump.
asserted
Rice → survive → slump

asserted
he → sink → homers
It’s unclear how far the Yankees will be able to go if Judge isn’t able to return, but any chance rests on the bat of Rice, on Tuesday he was up to the challenge.
