Overview

  • The first-inning shot off Lucas Giolito cleared the Green Monster and landed on Lansdowne Street at a measured 468 feet.
  • Sportradar recorded it as the longest home run at Fenway Park this season.
  • It was Judge’s 47th of the year and his fourth in four games during a renewed power surge after an elbow flexor strain earlier this season.
  • New York jumped ahead 1-0 on the homer and closed out a 4-1 win to move 1.5 games in front of Boston in the AL East as both teams chase wild-card berths.
  • Judge now trails only Babe Ruth (659), Mickey Mantle (536) and Lou Gehrig (493), with manager Aaron Boone saying he is again getting “Aaron Judge-type swings” and controlling the zone.
