TORONTO — Aaron Judge hit the game-turning home run and a double Tuesday night. The Yankees slugger powered the Bombers to a 9-1 blowout of the Blue Jays, their division rival and a playoff contender. He helped the Yankees chase one of the best young starters in the game and extend their winning streak to 11 straight games. During this winning streak, Judge is hitting.357 with eight home runs, two doubles and 17 RBI. The slugger hit his ninth homer of the season off Manoah in the sixth inning. It was his fifth homer in the last five games and he is now tied with teammate Anthony Rizzo for the most in the big leagues. And then after, he looked at a group of reporters and pointed out he also struck out three times and said “We’re getting there guys.” At least the Yankees are heading in the right direction. The Yankees’ 11 straight wins are the longest streak in the big leagues this season and the most for the Bombers (18-6) since last season’s 13-game winning streak in August.
