Aaron Judge broke a personal home run drought with a pivotal grand slam in the seventh inning, leading the New York Yankees to a 5-4 victory over the Boston Red Sox. After 16 games without a longball, Judge's eighth career slam ignited the Yankee Stadium crowd, giving the Yankees their third consecutive win and a three-game lead in the AL East.

The game saw relief pitcher Mark Leiter Jr. earning the win, while Luke Weaver secured the save. The Yankees, now at 82-66, enjoy their largest AL East lead in months.

Judge's achievement came after a two-homer performance in late August and lifted him to 52 home runs this season, leading the majors.
