Aaron Judge hit his 60th home run and Giancarlo Stanton followed minutes later with a game-ending grand slam, completing the New York Yankees' stunning five-run, ninth-inning rally to beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 9-8 on Tuesday night.
Judge moved within one of Roger Maris' American League record when he turned on a sinker from right-hander Wil Crowe and drove it 430 feet into the left-field bleachers, pulling New York within 8-5.
Stanton, mired in a 9-for-72 slump, lined a slam off Crowe to make a winner of Aroldis Chapman and set of a raucous celebration at Yankee Stadium. Bryan Reynolds tied the score 4-4 with a seventh-inning home run off Lou Trivino and had a go-ahead single off Jonathan Loáisiga in the eighth for his fourth hit.Rodolfo Castro - the player suspended for a game by Major League Baseball last month after a cell phone flew out of his pocket during a headfirst slide - followed with a three-run homer against Clay Holmes.
