Aaron Judge finishes off torrid May by breaking a Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig Yankees record

About one month ago, there were concerns that New York Yankees slugger Aaron Judge had begun his descent. As of April 22, he was hitting .174/.308/.337 with three homers 31 strikeouts. With Judge at 32 years old, it was very conceivable that his hard-swinging, high-strikeout approach was starting to catch up to him.

Let's just say there aren't as many concerns now.

In a 6-2 win over the San Francisco Giants on Friday, Judge clubbed his 19th and 20th home runs of the season to take sole possession of the MLB lead in long balls.
