Aaron Judge hit his second two-run homer of the game in the sixth inning as the New York Yankees rallied from a six-run deficit and then held on for a 9-8 victory over the visiting Tampa Bay Rays
The Yankees won for the eighth time in 11 games by pulling off their biggest comeback this year after Nestor Cortes allowed Yandy Diaz's first career grand slam.
Volpe opened the sixth with a bunt single and stole two bases before scoring on a wild pitch by Ryan Thompson during an at-bat to Gleyber Torres. After Torres walked, Judge lifted a 1-2 slider into the second deck in left field to give the Yankees a 7-6 lead. Diaz hit his first career grand slam in the fifth inning, two batters after Cortes was called for a pitch clock violation that resulted in a walk to Jose Siri. Randy Arozarena followed Diaz's drive into the left field bleachers with an RBI infield single off Jimmy Cordero after the Rays successfully overturned the initial call on replay.
Cortes allowed six runs on seven hits in 4 1/3 innings. He loaded the bases by allowing a hit to Francisco Mejia to set it up for Diaz.
