Aaron Judge was held without a homer for the third straight game, keeping him at 60 for the season and one shy of Roger Maris' American League record, and the New York Yankees beat the Boston Red Sox 5-4 Friday night.
Jose Trevino singled home the tiebreaking run with two outs in the eighth inning, and the first-place Yankees reduced their magic number to five for clinching the AL East title.
Since connecting for No. 60 on Tuesday night against Pittsburgh, the closest Judge has come to equaling Maris' 1961 mark was a 404-foot drive caught just in front of the center field fence Thursday night. Alex Verdugo tied it for Boston with a three-run homer in the sixth inning. Tommy Pham also went deep against Cole, who has served up 31 long balls this season - most in the American League.
