Only in this historic season by Aaron Judge could a walk-off grand slam by one of his teammates be rendered a mere footnote.

That’s not entirely true, of course, because Giancarlo Stanton’s blast after Judge had joined the 60-homer club earlier in the Yankees’ five-run ninth inning lifted them to a scintillating 9-8 victory over the Pirates and moved them closer to clinching the AL East title.

Still, with a comfortable lead over the second-place Blue Jays in the division race – still 5 ½ games with 15 to play following the euphoric comeback – the rest of this homestand is now squarely about Judge. No. 99 now trails Roger Maris’ 61 in ‘61 by one for the franchise record and American League mark after matching Babe Ruth’s 1927 total of 60 with a leadoff blast into the left-field bleachers against Pittsburgh reliever Wil Crowe to draw the Yanks within 8-5 in the ninth.

Judge looked uncomfortable taking a curtain call with his team down by three runs, but he admitted afterward, “I kind of lost my mind” after his teammates loaded the bases and Stanton — who got stuck on 59 homers with the Marlins in 2017 — scorched a 118-mph laser over the wall in left for the walk-off victory.
