Luis Arraez won the American League batting title, hitting a third-inning double after walking twice to finish the season at.................
When the day began, he was all but certain to beat Judge for the batting crown. He removed any doubt by walking in his first two plate appearances and then hitting a drive that barely cleared the right fielder's glove before he was pulled for a pinch-runner.
"It's incredible," he said. One of my goals was to get this done. I'm enjoying my life right now. I worked hard for this, it's amazing for me.
Judge, who sat out the Yankees' season finale, led the league in batting with a.361 average.
"I didn't sleep last night because I was thinking and thinking about it," he said.
The fifth Twin to win a batting title was Arraez.
"I think he accomplished what he wanted to do," Baldelli said. He doesn't think about things on a personal level. He is a team player and here to win.
Carlos Correa was going to give Arraez a Louis Vuitton roller bag before the game, but he got a hug at the top of the stairs.
Arraez said thatCorrea is amazing. He sets a good example. I love that guy because he is a leader.
During the last nine games of the season, Arraez hit.361.
It wasn't easy. My mind is not weakened.
The Twins snapped a four-game skid by scoring six runs in the first. Over the course of the year, the Twins improved by six games.
The White Sox had their three-game winning streak snapped and finished the year with a worse record than they did in the previous year.
