All rise.
Aaron Judge, the New York Yankees' rookie sensation, laid down the law in the Bronx on Sunday, taking Oakland Athletics right-hander Andrew Triggs deep with the bases loaded in the bottom of the third for his first career grand slam (which, coincidentally, landed only a few rows away from the "Judge's Chambers" section in the right-field bleachers).
The blast, a 378-foot shot, was Judge's 16th home run of the season, moving him back into a tie with Mike Trout for the MLB lead.
