NEW YORK — Aaron Judge ended the longest home run drought of his major league career in the loudest way possible Friday night.

With the New York Yankees facing a three-run deficit against the Boston Red Sox in the seventh inning, Judge clubbed a go-ahead grand slam for his major-league-leading 52nd home run of the season.

The swat unleashed thunderous delirium at Yankee Stadium. MVP chants prompted Judge to emerge for a curtain call. The blast was Judge's eighth career grand slam.

He had gone 16 games, 60 at-bats and 75 plate appearances since last homering on Aug. 25 against the Colorado Rockies. The anticipation for the possibility began building earlier in the inning.
