Aaron Judge hit his 56th and 57th homers of the season and hit two game-tying homers. He is now 4 homers short of the tie, 5 short of the break, and his 61 off Roger Maris.
In the extra inning, Gleyber Torres loaded the bases with two outs and pulled up the clutch with a bases-clearing double.
Torres has been swinging hot lately after a historically terrible slump — since last Friday, July 17, he was just .177/.222/.286 with 13 RBIs. However, in his final three games, he is 5 for 14 (. 357) with his 8 RBI and his 3 extra-base hits.

Gerrit Cole continued his struggle at Fenway Park, giving up four earned runs in six innings. All of which were due to home runs. He has struck out 10 of his batters, but Fenway in his park career he owns a 5.52 ERA. He also failed to pitch three innings in the wild card game in Boston last year.
However, the bullpen closed Boston down and pitched four innings after Cole closed the door. It came close as Wandy Peralta allowed a wild pitch that scored an RBI single and a run, but he struck out Rafael Devers to earn the save.
The Sox got on the board first with a two-run homer by Triston Casas, but Merwin Gonzalez quickly tied it in the third with a two-run blowout of his own.
Judge, now 19, has hit 6 homers in his last 37 games, batting .310, and is getting serious about the AL Triple Crown topic.
