The New York Yankees entered the bottom of the eighth inning down 7-6 when Mike Tauchman earned a walk. Thanks to a beautiful orchestration of managing by Aaron Boone, Tauchman stole second base, putting him in scoring position.
DJ LeMahieu followed with a single to right field, allowing Tauchman to round third base and score with ease. With the game tied 7-7, Aaron Judge stepped up to the plate. He had previously hit a home run in the second inning, scoring Miguel Andujar and LeMahieu.
With DJ at first base, Judge slammed a curveball over the middle of the plate to the bleachers.
