Aaron Judge sends Yankee Stadium into a frenzy after smashing huge grand slam vs. Red Sox

Aaron Judge brought Yankee Stadium to its feet on Friday night with a single swing of the bat. 

The Yankee captain and former MVP came up with the bases loaded and no one in the bottom of the seventh inning. The Yankees trailed the Boston Red Sox 4-1. 

Then Judge crushed a 2-0 pitch to deep right field for the type of home run that the crowd knows is gone before it leaves the infield. It gave the Yankees a 5-4 lead. The Yankees held the lead to win, taking the first two games of the series against Boston and extending their lead in the AL East over the Baltimore Orioles by three games.

The Yankee Stadium crowd erupted to one of its loudest cheers of the year, as the fans celebrated their star player's big moment over their hated rival. 

For Judge, the grand slam actually broke one of his rare home run droughts. Going into Friday night's game Judge had not hit a home run in 16 straight games, which was the longest stretch of his career without one. It's a stretch that came amid, arguably, Judge's best hitting season yet.

With the grand slam in hand, Judge collected the 52nd home run of the season, improving his average to .321 with a 1.143 OPS and 130 RBI. 

But before Friday, hfter he hit two home runs against the Colorado Rockies on Aug. 26, the six-time All-Star is hitting .204 (11 for 54) with 22 strikeouts in his net 15 games.

The prior longest homerless streak of Judge’s career came during his rookie season, when he did not leave the yard in 15 games from Aug. 17 through Sept. 2 in 2017. 

Before his current drought, Judge was on a torrid pace, hitting nine home runs over 10 prior games, making people wonder if he had a chance to break his own American League record for most home runs in a season that he set in 2022 with 62 home runs. 

Still Judge is currently in the driver's seat to win his second American League MVP award in three years.

Caitlin Clark breaks WNBA single-season assist record

Caitlin Clark has done it again. 

The Indiana Fever rookie sensation broke the WNBA's single-season assist record with the 317th of her rookie season Friday against the Las Vegas Aces. 

Clark was on the other end of seeing a landmark single-season record fall in the last meeting between the two teams just two days ago. On Wednesday, Aces veteran A'ja Wilson broke the league's single-season scoring record with 956 points during an 86-75 Las Vegas win.

Prior to that, fellow rookie Angel Reese broke the WNBA's single-season rebound record. Reese broke that record in the Chicago Sky's 79-74 loss at Minnesota Sept. 1, when she surpassed Sylvia Fowles' record of 404 set in 2018.

But Clark took back the spotlight Friday night.

Last Friday against the Minnesota Lynx, Clark drained her 103rd 3-pointer of the season, putting her in the top spot on the Fever's all-time list for 3-pointers in a single season.

Just days before that, she recorded her 100th 3-pointer of the season when the Fever hosted the Los Angeles Sparks, reaching the milestone faster than any player in league history. 

She also became the first rookie and the fifth WNBA player to record more than one triple-double in a season. The recently retired Candace Parker, along with Courtney Williams, Sabrina Ionescu and Alyssa Thomas are the other players in the exclusive club.

A week before that, against the Dallas Wings, Clark scored the 595th point of her career, surpassing WNBA legend Tamika Catchings for the most in a single season by a rookie in Fever history.

In her most recent game against Reese and the Sky Aug. 30, Clark had the first 30-point, 12-assist game in WNBA history while becoming just the fifth player, and first rookie, to record at least 30 points and 10 assists in a game. On top of that, Clark now has 12 double-doubles, which breaks the WNBA record for most double-doubles by a guard in a single season.

Just three days before that, Clark set the record for most made 3-pointers by a rookie, surpassing the mark initially set by the Atlanta Dream’s Rhyne Howard. She was 3-for-12 from downtown and finished with 19 points, five rebounds and five assists as Indiana picked up its 15th win.

That same night, Clark also became the first WNBA player to have at least 15 points, five rebounds and five assists in six consecutive WNBA games. It was her 10th straight game with at least 15 points and five rebounds, which put her in the elite club with Diana Taurasi.

Clark has led the Fever to the playoffs for the first time in eight years.
