Aaron Judge hits walk-off homer as Yanke

For much of Sunday afternoon, it looked like the would again have their way with the . , then on Sunday, righty held New York hitle s through the first six innings. As Yogi Berra would say, it was deja vu all over again. It wasn't until clocked a solo home run with one out in the seventh inning that the Yankees got into the hit column. Including the ninth inning Friday, the Yankees went 16 full innings between hits at one point this weekend. That is tied for the longest hitle s streak Anibal Sanchez Jersey in baseball in the expansion era (since 1961). Here is Stanton's blast: The 16 straight hitle s innings ties the 1973 and 1981 for the expansion era record. Interestingly enough, the '73 A's and '81 Dodgers both won the World Series. No team in history has Kennys Vargas Jersey ever been no-hit in back-to-back games, though the St. Louis Browns no-hit the on back-to-back May 5-6, 1917. The May 6 game was the second game of a doubleheader, so there was a game between no-hitters. The hitle s nightmare for the Yankees -- a combined 0-for-52 skid -- was over thanks to Stanton's blast, and one inning later, brought a sleepy Yankee Stadium to life with a game-tying two-run home run. Then, in the bottom of the 10th, AL MVP favorite sent everyone home with a walk-off three run home run ( ). Judge Byron Buxton Jersey has been slumping lately -- he was 8 for his last 48 (.167) prior to the walk-off blast -- though his season stat line is still incredible: .294/.370/.643 with an MLB-leading 28 home runs. No other player has more than 22 homers. It should be noted Yankees righty did hero's work in the top of the 10th by getting two pop ups to escape a bases loaded, one-out jam. The Yankees have 10 walk-off wins this season, far and away the most in baseball, and they are an incredible 22-20 when trailing at any point in a game. No other team has a winning record in games in which they trailed. Entering today, every other team was at least 9 games under .500 in this situation Katie Sharp (@ktsharp) Also, Bert Blyleven Jersey the Yankees did not lead for a single inning in the four-game series with the Astros. They split the four games via two walk-off wins. Otherwise the game was tied or the Astros had the lead in every inning of the series. Erick Aybar Jersey The Yankees (53-20) and Astros (45-27) have the American League's two best records by a good margin (the have the third best record at 42-31). Houston eliminated the Yankees in the 2015 Wild Card Game, the 2017 ALCS, and the 2019 ALCS. This is very much a rivalry, but it has been fairly one-sided in October.
