The great thing about that one is that just before, Judge had a foul tip that was dropped by the catcher on what would have been strike 3, then hit a 2 run double. Stanton followed that with the blast.
And naturally the Yankees will try to blow it, with men on 1st and 3rd and 1 out.
Edit: got out of it. 6-3 heading into the ninth.

Brought out the broom for Boston in Fenway Park. 1 game up on Boston, 2 up on Toronto, but the future is still in flux, as the Yankees' last six are 3 in Toronto followed by 3 at home against Tampa.

Yankees have it the worst, having to face Toronto and Tampa.
And of course Toronto has the Yankees, but then get to finish the season with Baltimore, so that's not too bad.
Fucking Boston gets Baltimore followed by Washington.
I'm just saying it could easily be WC1 Boston WC2 Toronto GFY* Yankees in a week.
Needless to say, this NYY-TOR series is pivotal for the Yankees, for damn sure.
*Go Fuck Yourself
Clearly, though, the Yankees' current predicament is of their own making. They are still horrible against the AL East overall, despite the sweep of Boston this weekend.
vs AL East
Tampa 49-24
Boston 40-33
Toronto 38-32
New York 33-37
Baltimore 18-82
With 8 of Baltimore's wins being against the Yankees.
I'm sorry, but if you can't beat your own division and can't destroy Baltimore, you deserve to be on the verge of being out of the playoffs. In fact, you deserve to not even be in the conversation of the playoffs.
Yankees will literally have to win their last 6 to have a winning record in the division, which means they need a 12 game winning streak overall.

By Pac-12 Go To PostI swear, it looked like Stanton was just fighting that pitch off.Yea thought it would have just been half hit at first but the sound when it hit was like fuck that's gone.
By Lunatic Go To PostThrow these pitchers in the dumpster 🗑️🔥.
Like Suzyn Waldman said in the WFAN feed, they should have let Urshella take first base.
(on the HBP that wasn't called a HBP)
Edit:
Red Sox lost to the Orioles, as well, because the Red Sox are a bunch of sad fucks (narrator: the Yankees have the worst record against the Orioles of anybody), so despite tonight's loss, PB, there's still a good chance to rally.
For the folks keeping score at home, while games are still in progress, here's the AL wild card standings
NYY +2
BOS --
SEA -1
TOR -1
OAK -3
Oakland and Seattle are currently playing, 1-0 Oakland in the 4th.

Red Sox clearly are still in the driver's seat. Yesterday's loss to Baltimore notwithstanding, they have the easiest schedule of anyone. 2 more against Baltimore and 3 against Washington? No way in hell they should fall out of the wild card. Koko would literally roll over in his grave if that happened.
By Dury Go To PostSemien is gonna get paid, goddamn.This club is absolutely stupid if we let Semien and Ray both leave in the off season. I’d be so heated
By Pac-12 Go To PostYeah, thought that shit was gone in real time.Honestly never seen anything like that before.
Of fucking course that happens right after that.
Edit: WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK. Dumpster pitchers are back 🗑️🔥

For the folks keeping score at home, Vladdy Jr hit a ball that hit the very top of the wall in the only possible place where the ball could pop up into the air but back into the playing field. Hit even a millimeter lower, it goes down. Hit a millimeter back, it bounces up and out. This damn thing popped high into the air but back into the playing field for an RBI double.
