Aaron Judge's bomb puts Yankees over Mets | Rapid reaction

NEW YORK -- If anything was more predictable than Justify's Triple Crown win, this was it.

When Anthony Swarzak tossed slow, hanging slider to Aaron Judge with his first pitch of the night in the eighth inning, he might as well have told him what was coming, while was as it.

Judge wound up and blasted it high into the air and over the left-field wall. The blast gave the Yankees the lead for good in a 4-3 victory over the Mets at Citi Field on Saturday night.

It also awarded the Yankees the first round of the Subway Series, following Friday night's win.
