Torres’ two-run double in a three-run 10th inning helps the New York Yankees come back to beat the Boston Red Sox 11-8, while Judge hits his 37th home run

Gleyber Torres’ two-run double completed a three-run 10th inning, and Aaron Judge hit his 37th home run after reaching base six times, a career high. The New York Yankees came from behind to beat the Boston Red Sox 11-8 on Saturday night.

The game was tied five times, the most in the Major League this season. New York led 3-0 and 4-3, but Boston took the lead 5-4, 6-5, 8-6.

Judge hit a home run for the second straight night, adding to his league-leading home run total. He had four RBIs and tied his career best with his 10th four-hit game.

Judge became only the third Yankee to reach base with at least six RBIs against the Red Sox, joining Babe Ruth on September 28, 1923, and Lou Gehrig on September 5, 1927.

“It’s fun. You love going back and forth, you go up and down this lineup, all the guys out of the bullpen, everybody had an impact on this game,” Judge said. “These are the fun games, a good team win like this where guys come up with big at-bats, make plays on defense, big pitching performances.”

Juan Soto hit his 27th home run and he and Judge hit back-to-back homers in the first inning for the third time this season. Trent Grisham tied the game at 8-8 with two outs in the ninth inning with a double that hit the Green Monster on a 2-2 pitch from Kenley Jansen.

Austin Wells hit a sacrifice fly against Chase Anderson (0-2) in the 10th inning, and Torres, who had gone 0-for-5, doubled off the bases of the Green Monster.

“I had a huge opportunity tonight to do something and just tried to (simplify) the situation,” Torres said.

Clay Holmes (2-4) worked around a walk in the 10th inning, retiring Masataka Yoshida on a game-ending grounder with two on, ending a three-hour, 38-minute game. Holmes pitched two innings, a night after blowing his seventh save by allowing Wilyer Abreu’s tying double and Yoshida’s two-run single in the eighth inning of a 9-7 loss.
