2017 – Trailing 9 – 1 against the Orioles in the 6th, the Yankees mount a tremendous comeback to pull off a 14 – 11 win. Matt Holliday ends the game with a three-run walk-off homer off Jayson Aquino in the 10th, the eighth long ball of the game. The Yankees had tied the score in the 9th on Starlin Castro’s two-run blast off Brad Brach. Each team hits a grand slam, with Mark Trumbo doing so for the O’s and Jacoby Ellsbury for the Yanks. For his part, Aaron Judge goes deep twice for New York, while Manny Machado and Welington Castillo reply for Baltimore. The two teams are now tied for the lead in the AL East at 14-7, but Baltimore will quickly sink in the standings to finish in last place.
