BOSTON — Masataka Yoshida hit a tiebreaking two-run single off Clay Holmes in a three-run eighth inning, and the Boston Red Sox overcame Aaron Judge's 470-foot home run to beat the reeling New York Yankees 9-7 Friday night.
Judge hit his major league-leading 36th homer, a three-run drive in the seventh on a Zack Kelly cutter that landed in a small section of stands above a back wall and below a videoboard.
"I try not to watch 'em," Judge said. "I had to check the replay to see where it went."
The homer, the fifth-longest of Judge's big league career, put New York ahead 6-4, and Austin Wells followed with a solo homer over right fielder Tyler O'Neill, who tumbled into the stands.
