He later stepped into the box as the potential tying run in the ninth but failed to reach base. Judge continues to pace the majors with 89 RBI, although he had collected a total of only four RBI in 14 July games prior to Sunday.

Yankees' Aaron Judge: Cranks 33rd homer
Rotowire
Judge went 1-for-1 with a solo home run and four walks in Friday's 4-1 win over the Orioles.
Judge led off the third inning with a solo shot off Cade Povich, his league-leading 33rd long ball of the season. Otherwise, Baltimore pitchers wanted nothing to do with Judge. The homer was Judge's first since July 2 and he'd been in a bit of a slump coming into Friday, going just 4-for-31(.129) in his previous eight games. Still, it's been another excellent year for the 32-year-old outfielder -- Judge is slashing .306/.429/.674 with 84 RBI and 71 runs scored through 414 plate appearances.
