Aaron Judge hit a tiebreaking single in the 10th inning and first baseman DJ LeMahieu made a diving catch to end the game as the New York Yankees beat the Tampa Bay Rays 3-1 Wednesday night in St. Petersburg, Fla.
Judge was originally in the starting lineup but scratched about 45 minutes before first pitch due to additional medical testing related to his prior stint on the COVID-19 injured list.
He entered as a pinch hitter in the fifth inning and went hitless in his first two at-bats before delivering the go-ahead run in the 10th.
Judge hits tiebreaking single in 10th, Yankees beat Rays 3-1

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) Aaron Judge went from being a late scratch to hitting a tiebreaking single in a two-run 10th inning as the New York Yankees beat the Tampa Bay Rays for the second straight day, 3-1 on Wednesday night.
Judge was taken out of the lineup about 30 minutes before the first pitch, and initially no announcement was made about why. The All-Star right fielder struck out in the fifth pinch-hitting for Estevan Florial.
Judge returned to the team Tuesday after going on the COVID-19 injured list July 16. After the game Wednesday night, Yankees manager Aaron Boone explained why Judge was scratched, saying he had doctor appointments related to his return from the IL and didn’t arrive at the ballpark until less than an hour before the start.
