Yankees lose extra-inning crusher by just inches

Modal Trigger

David Robertson reacts after allowing the game-winning home run to Ronald Acuna in the top of the 11th Monday in the Yankees' 5-3 loss to the Braves.

Normally, Aaron Judge is the one delivering the decisive home runs.

On Monday night, he couldn’t bring one back, as Ronald Acuna Jr.’s two-run shot in the top of the 11th glanced off Judge’s glove in right to give Atlanta the lead in a 5-3 Yankee loss in The Bronx.

Acuna Jr., the Braves’ star rookie, went deep off David Robertson, the Yankees’ fifth pitcher in relief of Jonathan Loaisiga.
