Aaron Judge gave the fans what they wanted on Tuesday night, making history with his 60th homer of the season. But Giancarlo Stanton was the hero.
Stanton, booed earlier in the game after striking out three times, hit a game-winning grand slam to give the Yankees a wild 9-8 win over the hapless Pirates at the Stadium.
The Pirates broke a tie in the eighth, set up by a costly throwing error by Rizzo at first base, which gave Pittsburgh runners on the corners with one out.Bryan Reynolds, who’d homered earlier in the game, then grounded a single to right off Jonathan Loaisiga to put Pittsburgh ahead again.Clay Holmes replaced Loaisiga and immediately allowed a three-run homer to Rodolfo Castro.

Harrison Bader, making his Yankees debut, dives safely into home on Jose Trevino’s RBI single during the fifth inning of the Yankees’ loss.Judge came up, and after grounding out in his first two-at bats, was walked by Ortiz.
