Aaron Judge matched the sentiment of the entire stadium around him.

Still sitting on 60 home runs during the seventh inning of the Yankees’ 7-5 win over the Red Sox on Saturday, he struck out for the second time with the score still tied 5-5. He checked his swing on a 2-2 pitch, and first base umpire Chris Conroy ruled that he swung, prompting boos to shower across Yankee Stadium.

Judge was visibly angry, shaking his head and waving his hands towards Conroy.

On replay, it appeared Judge had indeed checked his swing.

Anthony Rizzo subsequently hit a two-run homer, however, to give the Yankees the decisive 7-5 lead.

Judge also struck out looking in the first inning.
