Aaron Judge Clubs Major-League-Leading 48th Homer In Winning Effort
3 months agoNew York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge hit his major-league-leading 48th home run of the season in Thursday's 6-0 shutout win over the Cleveland Guardians at Yankee Stadium. It was Judge's third straight game clearing the fences and his fourth homer of that span. His opposite-field shot off right-hander Gavin Williams in the fourth inning traveled 360 feet and came off the bat at 104.6 mph. The 32-year-old superstar is on pace to reach the 60-homer mark in 2024, which would be the second time in his career he's reached that lofty mark after eclipsing Roger Maris' single-season American League record with 62 homers in 2022. In his last 99 games since April 27, Judge has hit 44 home runs and driven in 105 runs. He's hit six long balls in his last seven games since Aug. 14 and has gone deep 13 times in 24 games since July 26. Judge is absolutely feasting right now at the plate.
