BOSTON — Aaron Judge is back on the board — twice.
After going a rare five games without a home run, Judge crushed No. 56 on Tuesday night at Fenway Park off right-hander Nick Pivetta. The opposite-field solo shot, which landed in the Red Sox bullpen, tied the game in the sixth inning.
Two innings later, Judge clubbed No. 57 with a 389-foot shot over the Green Monster that re-tied the game at four on Tuesday night at Fenway Park. The blasts helped lead the Yankees to a 7-6 win over the rival Red Sox.
