However, the New York Yankees were able to come back against the Boston Red Sox, and Josh Donaldson's walk-off single in the 10th gave them a 5-4 win.

Judge's long fly out not only was this close to being his fourth walk-off home run of the year, but it also would have been his 61st home run of the season, tying Roger Maris for the AL record in a single season.

But everyone thought it was gone.

Although he was hitless on the night, he kept up his Gold Glove caliber defense in right field, throwing an absolute seed to keep the Red Sox's potential leading run off the bases in the top of the ninth inning.
