Judge's Heroics Propel Yankees Over Red Sox

Aaron Judge powered the New York Yankees to a series win over the Boston Red Sox, hitting his 53rd home run of the season and breaking a 16-game homerless streak with a grand slam. Judge's grand slam on Friday night gave the Yankees a 5-4 comeback victory, and his two-run blast on Sunday ensured a 5-2 win, helping the Yankees extend their lead in the AL East to three games over the Baltimore Orioles. Red Sox manager Alex Cora admitted attempts to retaliate against Judge after Yankees' Gerrit Cole hit Rafael Devers. Despite the drama, Judge's performance, including leading MLB with 130 RBIs, has been a key factor in the Yankees' recent success. Yankees manager Aaron Boone praised the team's resilience, emphasizing their focus on short-term goals. Judge's recent achievements place him among legendary MLB sluggers, reinforcing his MVP candidacy.
