That homer broke a scoreless tie and was enough to beat the Yankees by a 3-1 score. The Yanks made the game interesting by bringing the potential game-winning run to the plate, but they were unable to deliver this time. The loss snapped a 15-game home winning streak that dated back to May 24th. Photo by USA Today

It also clears the way for Judge to become a free agent after this MLB season is over. Entering today, Judge leads the Majors with 27 home runs and has 53 RBI on the season. Photo by USA Today
