Aaron Judge hit a tiebreaking homer leading off the seventh inning that ended a 10-game drought, and the New York Yankees defeated the Kansas City Royals 4-3 on Wednesday night to complete a three-game sweep.

For the first time this season, Clarke Schmidt started for the Yankees. But it was Aaron Judge who played the role of finisher in Wednesday night’s 4-3 win over the Kansas City Royals in the Bronx. Judge’s go-ahead home run in the seventh inning proved to be the game-winner as the Yankees (11-7) finished off a three-game sweep.

The Kansas City Royals were trying to avoid a sweep on Wednesday night, but Aaron Judge had other ideas. In the seventh inning of a tied game, Judge came to the plate to lead off the inning and deposited a 1-0 sinker from reliever John Schreiber into the bullpen in right-center field.
