Austin Wells became the first catcher to hit a leadoff homer on opening day, Anthony Volpe also went deep and the New York Yankees began their AL pennant defense with a 4-2 win over the Milwaukee Brewers.

Boone instead picked veteran first baseman Paul Goldschmidt as his leadoff hitter against Brewers lefty and ex-Yankees All-Star Nestor Cortes Jr. Goldschmidt, a seven-time All-Star, has only hit leadoff once in his career; the Yankees experimented with him atop the batting order in spring training.

After the Yankees’ 4-2 victory over the Brewers, Aaron Judge and Carlos Rodon discuss Austin Wells’ leadoff home run, starting the season with a win, and Rodon’s fall in the fourth inning.
