New York Yankees star slugger Aaron Judge continued his sensational campaign on Tuesday, launching his 60th home run as the Bronx Bombers stormed back to beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 9-8.
The solo shot tied Judge with the great Babe Ruth for the second most home runs in American League history, and is just one behind Roger Maris’s record of 61. Judge is also just the sixth player to ever hit 60 or more long balls in a season, joining Ruth, Maris, Barry Bonds, Mark McGwire, and Sammy Sosa.
“I don’t think about the numbers,” said Judge.
