Aaron Judge's quest for the AL home run record will continue at least another day. The slugger hit a 404-foot drive in the ninth innings that was caught at the wall, but the Yankees defeated the Red Sox 5-4 in 10 to clinch a playoff spot. RepBX
Judge had walked three times and struck out once before he came to the plate with the score tied 4-all in the ninth. The crowd of 43,123 was on its feet for every pitch, and Judge drove a 2-2 fastball from Matt Barnes just to the right of straightaway center.
"Tonight it's a little cool. Maybe it wasn't meant for tonight. Maybe it's another night," Donaldson said.Judge also threw out a runner at second base to help hold off Boston in the ninth, showing off his defensive prowess. Tommy Pham hit a one-hopper off the right-field wall against Clay Holmes . Judge played the carom and from the warning track threw a strike to shortstop Isiah Kiner-Falefa for the tag. It was Judge's sixth assist of the season.
Giancarlo Stanton hit a two-run homer for the Yankees, and Harrison Bader had a tying sacrifice fly in the eighth after Stanton's leadoff infield single.
