BOSTON — Even Aaron Judge, who is putting up historic numbers with the Yankees once again this season, isn’t immune to a sudden slump. The superstar slugger was 1-for-12 with nine strikeouts against the Red Sox over the weekend, a big reason why the Yankees were held down on offense and swept for the first time all year.

That proved to be Judge’s lone hit of the series, as he went 0-for-4 with another three strikeouts in Sunday’s 2-0 loss at Fenway Park, with the Red Sox completing the sweep. His last chance to make another impact came in the eighth, when the Yankees had runners on first and second and one out and Garrett Whitlock entered.

Aaron Judge blamed himself for swinging at pitches outside the strike zone as the Yankees were swept in a three-game series at the Red Sox.
