New York Yankees history now has three players, including Judge on Friday night, who have homered when trailing 1-0 to the rival Boston Red Sox in the ninth inning or later, according to Underdog Sports. Before Judge, Ruth had done it on May 2, 1921, and Matt Holliday had done it on July 15, 2017.

The Boston Red Sox will attempt to keep their five-game win streak alive when they visit the Seattle Mariners.

The series represented Judge’s first three-game span with eight or more strikeouts in 2025.
