Sunday\’s game against the Rays had to be won by the Yankees in order to stop Tampa Bay from winning the league. The New York slugger put his friends in a knapsack and led the club to victory. Following his second consecutive day-to-day home run on Sunday against the Tampa Bay Rays, Aaron Judge blasted a career-high 53 home runs this season.
