Aaron Judge has been on such a tear lately — for the last two seasons, really — that nobody in the New York Yankees' dugout was surprised when he saved them in the ninth inning.
The 2022 AL MVP hit a tying homer and rookie Anthony Volpe drove in the winning run with a sacrifice fly in the 10th as the streaking Yankees rallied past the Baltimore Orioles 6-5 on Tuesday night.
“One of those once-in-a-lifetime moments happening for the first time,” Volpe said. “I wanted the opportunity and I was excited.”
Harrison Bader homered to begin New York's comeback from an early 4-0 deficit, and Judge took Gerrit Cole off the hook for his first loss in 11 starts this season.
