Boston.com | Hayden Bird: During Sunday’s 6-3 Yankees win over the Red Sox, home plate umpire Joe West made a call that later became a pivotal moment of the game. With Aaron Judge at the plate in a 1-2 count, Judge foul-tipped the ball into Red Sox catcher Christian Vázquez’s mitt. Then, while transferring the ball from his glove to his throwing hand, Vázquez dropped the ball. West’s determination that Red Sox catcher Christian Vázquez had dropped the foul tip allowed Aaron Judge to extend his at-bat, and Judge took advantage of his luck by knocking in a pair of runs.
