The New York Yankees did again Sunday. They came from behind to defeat the Houston Astros 6-3 on a three-run walk off home run from Aaron Judge in the bottom of the 10th inning. New York trailed 3-0 going into the bottom of the 7th before the comeback started.

Giancarlo Stanton hit his 17th bomb on the season to make it 3-1. Then in the 8th, D.J. LeMahieu hit a two-run shot to tie the game. That set the stage for Judge to once again send Yankees fans home happy.

After another comeback victory, the Yankees improved to an incredible 22-20 when trailing at any point in a game this season. That is leaps and bounds better than any team in baseball.

Entering play Sunday, every other team in Major League Baseball was at least nine games under .500 when trailing at any point. That just goes to show the type of firepower New York has in their lineup. The Yankees finished the four-game series with the AL West-leading Houston Astros with a split. But what is remarkable about that is that the Yankees did not lead a single inning out of all four games, according the CBS Sports MLB Writer Mike Axisa.

With the win, the Yankees improved to 53-20. They are on pace to have one of the best records in the history of baseball. The Yankees have excelled both hitting the ball and pitching. The emergence of Nestor Cortes in particularly has made a huge difference.

But the Yankees would be wise not to get complacent. The rival Boston Red Sox have won 28 of their last 37 games and have gone from 20 games back to 11.
