When Judge came to the plate in the top of the ninth, a vocal “M-V-P!” chant broke out - much louder than the half-hearted “Yankees Suck!” that the Boston fans attempted earlier in the night. Clay Holmes pitched the ninth for his 20th save in 25 chances. He struck out six and walked one, giving up six hits in five innings.īoston managed just three hits and two walks off Cortes, who struck out seven and gave up one run in five-plus innings. Red Sox rookie Brayan Bello (1-6) took the loss even though all three runs he allowed were unearned. Torres had three hits, and Nestor Cortes (10-4) took a shutout into the fifth to give the Yankees their fourth straight win and their eighth in 10 games. Judge came around to score, and Torres beat Verdugo’s second throw home for the three-run, Little League homer that gave New York a 3-0 lead. Catcher Connor Wong thought he had Torres making too big of a turn and fired the ball to first but it sailed wide and into the outfield. Torres lined a single to right, and Alex Verdugo’s throw to the plate was too late to get Hicks. He singled in the fifth after Aaron Hicks reached on an error, putting runners on first and second. A day after homering twice to reach 57 for the season - four short of Roger Maris’ AL record - Judge went 1 for 4 with a walk.
