NEW YORK -- It's only been a few days since Aaron Judge went deep. It just feels like more, with history hanging on his every swing.
Judge was held without a home run for the third straight game, keeping him at 60 for the season and one shy of Roger Maris' American League record, but the New York Yankees beat the Boston Red Sox 5-4 on Friday night.
"He's getting off the right swings. He's making good swing decisions. It's going to come," Yankees manager Aaron Boone said. "But it is a peek behind just how great a player he is, to that when he doesn't hit the ball out of the ballpark, he's still impacting us in a big way.
