Aaron Judge is up to 56 home runs and 10 stolen bases this season, marking the second time in his career that the New York Yankees slugger has reached those historic milestones.
Just as Shohei Ohtani seemed to be closing the gap atop MLB's home run leaderboard, Aaron Judge turned on the jets.
In the bottom of the fourth inning, Judge got the Yankees on the board with a 407-foot solo home run to left-center. It marked his third game in a row with a home run, bringing him up to 56 on the season. Hall of Fame outfielder Ken Griffey Jr. was the only player to post multiple 55-homer, 10-stolen base seasons prior to Judge, doing so with the Seattle Mariners in 1997 and 1998.
Judge leads all of MLB in home runs, RBI, walks, on-base percentage, slugging percentage, OPS and WAR.
