New York Yankees right fielder Aaron Judge set a major league record by becoming the first player to strikeout eight times in a doubleheader when he accomplished the feat during Monday's twinbill against the Detroit Tigers.
In nine at-bat over the two games, which New York split, Judge struck out eight times.
During the Yankees 4–2 loss in the nightcap, Judge was a strikeout victim in each of his five plate appearances. He left a man on base in the ninth inning when he struck out.
Last season, Judge struck out 208 times, but still won the AL Rookie of the Year award by hitting a rookie-record 52 home runs.
