After the game, "Judge" was interviewed and said that he felt good after playing half of the game. Although he was "not happy" to be substituted early, he respected the coach's decision and especially praised Ramos' 3-pointer that opened the lead.

Judge began to miss the game at the end of May due to fatigue fractures of his right ribs. After the game, he said that if possible, he had wanted to come back a few months ago, "But I am not a trainer, so I have to pass every test." As for the applause given to him by the fans today, "Judge" described it as if he hit 62 home runs in 2022.

After the Yankees won today, the season record is confirmed to have exceeded 50%, completing this record for 34 consecutive years. Judge said that this is a great record, but what he and others care more about is the World Series championship.
