There Goes the Judge

Aaron Judge of the Yankees connects on a 3-2 pitch in the top of the seventh inning to send a line drive into the leftfield stands for his sixty first home run of the season. That ties Roger Maris‘s single season American League record for home runs in a season. He had a very short celebration as his teammates came on the field to offer hugs, and that continued as he returned to the dugout. The Yankees lead the Blue Jays 5-3.

It’s been 61 years since Maris set the record. Roger Jr. and Judge’s mother sat together to watch it happened. Tim Mayza gave up the shot. We’ll see how high Judge can drive that number in the next week.
