New York Yankees' Aaron Judge Passes Alex Rodriguez on Impressive Team List
Just days ago, we wrote that New York Yankees slugger Aaron Judge had tied Alex Rodriguez for the fifth-most multi-home run games in team history.
Now, on Monday night, Judge moved into sole possession of fifth place on that list. Judge homered twice against the Blue Jays on Monday to give him 30 career multi-homer games.
James Smyth of the Yes Network tweeted out the new and updated list:
Yankees Most Multi-HR Games
68 Babe Ruth
46 Mickey Mantle
43 Lou Gehrig
35 Joe DiMaggio
30 Aaron Judge ***
29 Alex Rodriguez
Hard to believe that Judge, the most prolific home run hitter in the sport, still isn't even halfway to Babe Ruth, who has 68 of them!
At the time of this posting, Judge is 2-2 with three walks in addition to the home runs. He has scored two runs and driven in three runs.
For the season, Judge is hitting .267 with nine home runs and 23 RBI. He's added two steals and has posted a .923 OPS. For his career, Judge is hitting .283 with 229 homers and 520 RBI. He hit an American League record 62 home runs a season.
The Yankees lead the Blue Jays, 7-1, in the bottom of the eighth inning. The team has gotten a good pitching performance from Jimmy Cordero and Jhony Brito, who have combined to allow just five hits and one run.
Presuming the Yankees hold on, they'll move to 24-19 on the year while the Jays would drop to 24-17.
