Judge collected four hits, reached base five times, and hit a tiebreaking two-strike single with one out in the 10th inning to plate the go-ahead run. Judge posted his seventh career four-hit game and fifth since the start of last season. Anthony Rizzo also contributed to the win with a two-run homer down the right field line.

Toronto starter Alek Manoah allowed two runs, six hits, and one walk with five strikeouts in 5 2/3 innings.
