Aaron Judge rocks Yankee Stadium after grand slam against Red Sox

Aaron Judge brought Yankee Stadium to its feet Friday night with a single swing of his bat.

The Yankees captain and former MVP ended the seventh inning with the bases loaded and no one on the field. The Yankees trailed the Boston Red Sox 4-1.

Judge then crushed a 2-0 pitch to deep right field for the type of home run the crowd knows he hit before he even leaves the infield. That gave the Yankees a 5-4 lead. The Yankees held on to win, taking the first two games of the series against Boston and extending their lead in the American League East over the Baltimore Orioles by three games.

The Yankee Stadium crowd erupted in one of the loudest cheers of the year as fans celebrated their star player's big moment against their hated rival.

For Judge, the grand slam ended one of his rare hitless streaks. Before Friday night's game, Judge had not hit a home run in 16 straight games, the longest stretch of his career. That stretch came during Judge's best season to date.

With the grand slam in hand, Judge hit his 52nd home run of the season, improving his average to .321 with a 1.143 OPS and 130 RBIs.

But before Friday, after hitting two home runs against the Colorado Rockies As of August 26, the six-time All-Star is hitting .204 (11-for-54) with 22 strikeouts in his 15 net games.

Judge's longest career hitting streak came in his rookie season, when he didn't leave the court for 15 games from Aug. 17 to Sept. 2, 2017.

Before his current drought, Judge was on a blistering pace, hitting nine home runs in his previous 10 games, making people wonder if he had a chance to break his own American League record for most home runs in a season which he set in 2022 with 62.

Still Judge is currently in position to win his second American League MVP award in three years.
