Judge’s one hit in the three-game series was his majestic game-tying home run in the ninth inning on Friday night, the swing that prevented Red Sox ace Garrett Crochet from finishing off a complete game shutout. Otherwise, he was a complete nonfactor, lowering his batting average on the season from .392 to .378 in the process.

Aaron Judge blamed himself for swinging at pitches outside the strike zone as the New York Yankees were swept in a three-game series at the Boston Red Sox.

That proved to be Judge’s lone hit of the series, as he went 0-for-4 with another three strikeouts in Sunday’s 2-0 loss at Fenway Park, with the Red Sox completing the sweep. His last chance to make another impact came in the eighth, when the Yankees had runners on first and second and one out and Garrett Whitlock entered.
