CHECK OUT YANKS AARON JUDGE’S 62ND HR, BREAKING ROGER MARIS RECORD
By Peter Marx
Aaron Judge belted his 62nd home run of the year against the Rangers.
Judge led off the second half of Tuesday’s split doubleheader in Arlington, Texas with a drive into the left-field stands to pass Roger Maris for what is now the new single-season American League home run record.
Judge tied Maris last Wednesday in Toronto, the night after the Yankees clinched the AL East title, but then went 3-for-16 with three singles and six walks (one intentional) across his next five games.
The 30-year-old impending free agent slugger is a shoo-in for AL MVP honors.
