NEW YORK — Aaron Judge hit his MLB-leading 49th home run of the season Friday night, helping the New York Yankees to a 3-0 win over the Colorado Rockies.
Judge homered for the fourth straight game, sending a 388-foot shot to left-center off Kyle Freeland (3-6) in the sixth inning. In earlier at-bats, Judge grounded into a double play and lined out.
With the crowd of 38,910 chanting "M-V-P! M-V-P!" Judge popped out to third base in his final at-bat in the eighth.
"Hard to wrap your head around it," Yankees manager Aaron Boone said.
