Overview

  • Aaron Judge clubbed two homers, including a blast off Hunter Dobbins, boosting his average to .396 and tying Lou Gehrig’s franchise record with his 43rd multi-homer game.
  • Red Sox rookie Hunter Dobbins had declared he’d rather retire than suit up for the Yankees, and Judge’s first-inning homer served as an immediate rebuttal.
  • Boston piled up 27 runs in the three-game set, marking its highest scoring output in a Bronx series since 2005.
  • Former Yankee Carlos Narvaez turned the tide with a 372-foot three-run homer against Carlos Rodón in the sixth inning of Sunday’s finale.
  • Despite Judge’s heroics and a .400 chase, Yankees pitching faltered in the 11-7 loss that handed Boston the series victory.
