NEW YORK (AP) — Aaron Judge claimed to have no idea how long his homerless streak lasted.
He certainly picked the perfect time to end it, though.
Judge snapped the longest home run drought of his career with a go-ahead grand slam that powered the New York Yankees past the Boston Red Sox 5-4 on Friday night.
The slugger had gone 16 games and 75 plate appearances without a longball before launching a clutch drive into the lower left-field seats off reliever Cam Booser in the seventh inning to give the Yankees a 5-4 advantage. The victory increased their AL East lead to three games over Baltimore with 14 to play.
