Aaron Judge Blasts 41st Homer, Continues Strong MVP Push On Saturday
3 months agoNew York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge continued his stellar season on Saturday by going two-for-three at the plate with a two-run HR, two walks and two runs in the Yankees' 8-3 win over the Toronto Blue Jays. Judge improved his league-leading OPS to 1.154 on the season. The two-run shot came off Blue Jays' starter Jose Berrios in the first inning, his 41st HR on the season. Judge continues to be a leader in the AL MVP race with his 215 OPS+ marking a career high, five points higher than his 210 OPS+ in 2022 when he won his first AL MVP. With Bobby Witt Jr. right on his heels, and the Yankees fighting to stave off the Baltimore Orioles in the AL East, Judge has plenty of reasons to keep up his historic production. He'll look to continue his ridiculous season on Sunday against Blue Jays' scheduled starter Yariel Rodriguez.
