Watch: Yankees' Aaron Judge hits three-run walk-off homer to beat the Blue Jays

By Adam Stites | Last updated 5/10/22

Aaron Judge came to the New York Yankees' rescue Tuesday night with a three-run, walk-off bomb in the bottom of the ninth to beat the Toronto Blue Jays, 6-5.

Toronto led 5-3 heading into the bottom of the ninth and closer Jordan Romano started the frame by striking out Isiah Kiner-Falefa. But Romano walked the next two batters, bringing Judge to the plate with a chance to win the game. He did exactly that with a 414-foot blast.

The other three runs for the Yankees on Tuesday came in the sixth inning when Giancarlo Stanton hit a three-run homer of his own.

Judge, 30, was tied for the MLB lead in home runs and became the first player to reach 10 this season. In 2017, he led the American League with 52. Last season, Judge's 39 homers were fifth most among AL batters.

The Yankees improved to an MLB-best 21-8 with the win.
