⚾ Headlines Around the League

🚨 Red Sox Walk Off Yankees 2 to 1 After Judge’s Late Blast and Heated Extras. Game of the Year Candidate

• Garrett Crochet struck out Aaron Judge three times during 8⅓ outstanding innings, keeping the Yankees offense silenced until his 4th at bat in the 9th

• Aaron Judge delivered a massive 443-foot solo homer in the 9th—his 26th of the season—to force extra innings

• The 10th inning featured controversy and chaos: Anthony Volpe tries to steal 3rd as the ghost runner and is thrown out to start the inning. Then, a disputed foul call by DJ LeMahieu led to video review, followed by the ejections of Aaron Boone and LeMahieu after arguing calls.

• Carlos Narváez ended the game with a walk-off RBI single off Tim Hill in the bottom of the 10th, driving in David Hamilton for the 2–1 win
