The New York Yankees secured a 2-1 victory over the Boston Red Sox in extra innings, highlighted by Juan Soto's walk-off single in the 10th. This win further solidified the Yankees' lead in the AL East at 85-62. Meanwhile, superstar Aaron Judge extended his career-high home run drought to 16 games, going 1 for 4 in the game and maintaining his league-leading total of 51 home runs for the season. Judge's slump has seen him hit just .207 with 21 strikeouts since August 26, raising concerns among fans. Despite this, Yankees manager Aaron Boone remains optimistic, stating that such droughts are part of the game and Judge's hitting ability will prevail. Judge's performance is closely monitored as he aims to return to his powerful form with only 15 games left in the season.
