Oct. 31 (UPI) -- Aaron Judge said his fifth-inning error triggered "a different story" in the New York Yankees' Game 5 collapse, which sealed their World Series loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers. He also pledged to deliver a future title.

Judge made the comments at a postgame news conference Wednesday in New York. The seasoned slugger -- and American League MVP frontrunner -- ended his home run slump with a two-run shot in the first inning of the 7-6 Game 5 setback at Yankee Stadium, but went on to drop a fly ball in center field, the first in a series of Yankees mistakes that allowed the Dodgers' rally.
