Judge hits 3-run HR in 9th to give Yanks win over Jays

NEW YORK — It took Aaron Judge exactly 600 major league games to hit his first walk-off home run.

When he finally connected Tuesday night, the soaring drive certainly measured up to the moment.

Judge hit a mammoth three-run shot in the ninth inning to give the New York Yankees a scintillating 6-5 comeback victory over the rival Toronto Blue Jays.

"What a game," Yankees manager Aaron Boone said. "A heavyweight game. Those are fun ones to be a part of."

Giancarlo Stanton tied it with a modest three-run shot in the sixth, and the Yankees rallied for their 14th victory in 16 games after three Toronto ejections left the angry Blue Jays seeing red.
