Aaron Judge Praises Giancarlo Stanton's 'Incredible' HR in Win vs. Red Sox

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge marveled at teammate Giancarlo Stanton's pair of home runs in a 3-2 win over the rival Boston Red Sox on Tuesday night.

Stanton hit a laser of a home run to left field in the second inning. According to ESPN.com's Coley Harvey, Judge remarked, "For G to get on top of it and keep it fair like that, it was impressive."

The reigning National League MVP followed that up with an opposite-field shot in the fourth inning that Judge called "incredible."

Stanton's numbers are respectable after a slow start, as he is now hitting .237 with nine home runs and 21 RBI for the red-hot Yankees.

Although Stanton provided the fireworks with two homers, it was Judge who came through in the clutch. His go-ahead RBI single in the seventh inning provided the winning margin for New York.

With Tuesday's victory, the Bronx Bombers pulled into a first-place tie with the Red Sox in the American League East at 25-10. The longtime rivals now share the best record in Major League Baseball.

While the Red Sox have cooled after a strong start, the Yanks have won seven games in a row and 16 of their past 17.

Stanton led MLB with 59 home runs and 132 RBI last season, and he added more clout to an already potent Yankees lineup.

The Yankees boast a lineup that produces from top to bottom, a starting rotation that has generated quality starts with regularity and a bullpen that may be tops in the league.

If Tuesday's performance is a sign of things to come for Stanton, finding a weakness on New York's roster may be an exercise in futility.
