In miraculous fashion, the New York Yankees came back from a four-run deficit in the bottom of the ninth inning to defeat the Pittsburgh Pirates, 9-8, on Tuesday night. 

It was none other than Aaron Judge, the MVP frontrunner, who gave the Yankees the spark they needed. He bashed his 60th home run of the season to tie Babe Ruth’s single season record and become one homer shy of the single-season American League record with Roger Maris, who hit 61 homers in 1961. 

It was a soaring shot that hit the left field bleachers at Yankee Stadium off Pirates pitcher Wil Crowe, and though Judge wasn’t too happy about it because his team was still down three runs, his teammates picked up the slack in the end.

With bases loaded and no outs, Giancarlo Stanton, who has been struggling recently and didn’t have a hit on the night, hit a laser to left field that carried over the wall for a grand slam and sent everyone home happy with the win.

Stanton added that Judge’s home run "sparked all of us. Helped us get this win, and he’s been doing this all year."
