BRONX, N.Y. — In the chase for 62 home runs, Aaron Judge (45) is four ahead of Roger Maris’s (41) pace for the American League, and New York Yankees franchise (and according to some MLB) records. Judge is also way ahead of the pace for most home runs in the junior circuit for a right-handed batter, 58, held by both Hank Greenberg and Jimmie Foxx.
The Yankees have 50 games remaining on the slate. Half of those games are at Yankee Stadium. Among the 25 road contests, 18 are in ballparks in the top 10 for home runs this season.
