The latest version of Yankee Stadium isn’t built to shake like its predecessor across the street. The upper-deck seats don’t hang over the field which housed the noise better.

Yet, when the occasion calls for it like it did Wednesday night in the eighth inning against the hated Red Sox, the House That George Built doesn’t take a backseat to any venue in sports.

From the moment Neil Walker slashed an opposite-field double to start the pivotal inning to Gleyber Torres’ one-out walk, to Brett Gardner’s two-run triple off Craig Kimbrel to Aaron Judge’s homer to center field against the Red Sox closer, the building was more alive than during possibly any other regular-season game since it opened almost a decade ago.

“It got my attention. I looked around a little bit in the eighth inning and it’s May and it was bedlam,’’ manager Aaron Boone said after the Yankees scored four runs in that eighth to erase a Red Sox lead and beat their blood rivals, 9-6, in front of 47,088 jazzed customers. “It was fun to be a part of that and fun to watch those guys slow things down when the place is going nuts.’’

The victory was the 26-10 Yankees’ eighth straight and 17th in the last 18 games, the first time the Yankees have taken 17-of-18 since June 1953. It also pushed the Yankees into first place, a game ahead of the Red Sox.

Trailing 6-5, entering the home eighth after Chad Green watched Hanley Ramirez reach the upper deck in left field with a two-run homer in the seventh on a 1-1 pitch, the Yankees started their latest comeback effort with Walker’s opposite-field double to left off Matt Barnes. Miguel Andujar moved him to third with a grounder to the right side and Torres worked a walk.

Gardner, who started the game in a 7-for-56 (.125) slide, doubled in the first and third innings but saved his biggest bolt for the eighth when he hit a 3-2 pitch from Kimbrel well over center fielder Mookie Betts’ head to score two runs and put the Yankees ahead. Judge added his ninth homer immediately after for a three-run bulge.

Aroldis Chapman used 100 mph heat to record the final three outs for his ninth save in 10 chances.

“It was down and away but still too much of the plate for a hitter like that,’’ Green said of the pitch to Ramirez.

Chasen Shreve left Jonathan Holder two runners to work on in the eighth and Holder stranded them.

“It seems like the past two or three weeks, the pitching staff falters or the hitters don’t get a hit and somebody is picking it up,’’ Green said. “It’s been amazing.’’

On April 20 the Yankees were 9-9 and 7 ½ games behind the first-place Red Sox who had won 17 of their first 19 games. When the blood rivals meet Thursday night in the finale of this three-game series, the Red Sox will be looking up at the Yankees.

“We have been playing good baseball. We have pitched well and come up with the big hits. We have to keep playing well,’’ Gardner said. “No matter if we are down four or five runs we are in striking distance.’’

Gardner had a taste of the former Stadium in 2008 which was the final year of the structure and ended without a playoff spot. He has played and won a World Series in the latest edition and experienced the Yankees winning all six postseason games played in The Bronx last year.

“Our fans have been great and tonight it was no exception. They were fired up,’’ Gardner said. “Every game against Boston is very important.’’

And brings out a sound rarely heard outside of last October.
