Sunday also marked Judge’s 11th multi-homer game of '22, tying Greenberg ('38) and Sammy Sosa ('98) for the most in any season. Judge went deep again in the seventh inning, a solo shot off Luis Perdomo to left field with an exit velocity of 110.3 mph and a projected distance of 443 feet. [Bryan Hoch](mailto:[email protected]) has covered the Yankees for MLB.com since 2007. You have a good game, they’re going to say something. Cable television did not exist in that era, to say nothing of cell phones and social media. If you have a bad game, they’re going to say something. Judge has seemingly navigated around the noise concerning Maris, the Triple Crown and any other potential distractions. And there is more to Judge’s game than swinging for the fences. [Aaron Judge](https://www.mlb.com/player/aaron-judge-592450) is closing in on history, a fact to be made readily apparent by the increased attention that will accompany his every at-bat throughout the remainder of the season. The scene promises to be electric at Yankee Stadium beginning on Tuesday, as Judge and the Yankees return home to face the Pirates with all eyes upon their superhero-sized slugger. If that means hitting a homer, it means hitting a homer, but it’s never been my focus.” Judge launched his Major League-leading 58th and 59th home runs in

The next-closest American League hitter, [Yordan Alvarez](/mlb/players/2507341/yordan-alvarez/), awoke on Sunday with 37 home runs. [Kyle Schwarber](/mlb/players/2135243/kyle-schwarber/) of the Philadelphia Phillies had 39 at the beginning of the day). His 57 home runs were 18 more than any other player in the majors ( Judge came to the plate in the ninth with a chance to hit his third homer of the game and 60th of the season, but he had to settle for a line-drive double off the left-field wall. Judge's second, also of the solo variety, extended the Yankees' lead to a 10-4 margin. Judge is now two home runs away from tying Roger Maris' single-season home run records for both the Yankees franchise and the American League as a whole.

Since the All-Star break, any talk of a potential Triple Crown winner in MLB this season has mainly centered around Cardinals first baseman and National ...

Three players to win the Triple Crown would be the most for any Major League franchise -- the Cardinals (Joe Medwick and Rogers Hornsby) and Red Sox (Ted Williams and Carl Yastrzemski) are the other teams with multiple winners. [Manny Randhawa](mailto:[email protected]) is a reporter for MLB.com based in Denver. The last time an NL player won the Triple Crown was 85 years ago, when the Cardinals’ Medwick won it in 1937. And, needless to say, Judge leads all of baseball in homers -- he’s got 20 more than the Phillies’ Kyle Schwarber, who is second in MLB -- and RBIs (Judge leads the Majors with 127). [chase of the AL single-season home run record](https://www.mlb.com/yankees/news/2022-aaron-judge-home-run-pace-tracker) of 61, set by Roger Maris 61 years ago.

In fact, Judge has to be the favorite to lead the American League in all three Triple Crown categories — home runs, RBI and batting average. Judge has all but clinched the AL home run crown.

The Yankees are six games under since the break while Judge is putting together a fantasy half. Aaron Boone, as unbiased as Nevin, called Judge’s year “a season for the ages.” But Boone doesn’t need to stump for Judge. While he hasn’t tried pitching, his Fangraphs WAR is about to hit 10 off this game, which would put him with Mike Trout and Mookie Betts as the only active players to reach that height. The awards, the chase, Since the break, it’s higher than 1.300, which truly is unreal. [correctly stating there’s West Coast bias in the voting](https://nypost.com/2022/09/16/aaron-judge-is-clear-mvp-despite-shohei-ohtanis-brilliance/). If there’s East Coast bias, how to explain the Angels winning four MVP awards in a decade without winning a playoff game? One, Boone’s job isn’t in jeopardy (sorry to the blood-thirsty Yankee fans among you). And now comes Nevin, the former Yankees coach who’d become former Angels manager if he took up the case for Judge. The odds boards now put Judge at 1-200 to win. Roger Lodge, the former “Blind Date” guy who has a nice Angels-centric talk show in the OC, tweeted Ohtani should win. I was called everything from a meanie to a typical New Yorker (that may be the same thing, not sure) after my column Friday

It would also end any speculation as to who the AL MVP would be – as impressive as Ohtani would be, Judge is making history as well. It would not be a surprise if he challenged Max Scherzer for the highest salary in the majors. The Yankees had offered a seven year extension worth $213.5 million during the offseason, only for Judge to turn that down and gamble on himself. It is not a surprise that he is the odds on favorite to earn the AL MVP award despite Shohei Ohtani’s continued brilliance as a two way player. Judge has had one of the best contract seasons in recent history. He has produced a .312/.415/.687 batting line in his 625 plate appearances entering Sunday, hitting 57 homers while driving in 123 runs and stealing 16 bases.

MILWAUKEE -- This wasn't the first time the Brewers have been unwilling participants in a chase for home run history. Aaron Judge slugged home runs Nos.

Everyone was safe while the tying run scored, and the Yankees made it a four-run inning with a broken-bat single and a two-run base hit off [Brent Suter](https://www.mlb.com/player/brent-suter-608718). But it was a mix of defense and buzzard’s luck, and not home runs, that led to a 4-3 Brewers lead slipping away during New York’s four-run rally in the fifth.

“And I think the fact that we’re where we are in the pennant race and what he’s doing hopefully should create for an awesome environment at [Yankee Stadium].” The Yankees have a six-game home stand beginning on Tuesday, with two games against the Pittsburgh Pirates and four against bitter rivals the Boston Red Sox, and Judge only had one thing on his mind after the game. The Brewers got off to a hot start when Kolten Wong hit a three-run homer to put them up 3-0 at the bottom of the first. That’s really the only thing on my mind right now,” he said. “I’m focused on doing what I can to be a good teammate and help the team win. I mean, it’s wonderful.

“It’s not too difficult if your main objective and your main focus is to go out there and win a game,” Judge said. “If I’m out there, my focus is to win a game. “I’m thinking about we’re coming down the stretch and we’ve got some big games coming up,” Judge said. “I’m locked in on the pitcher and situation. Judge says he’s still feeling that way even though pitchers will be getting marked baseballs every time he bats for the rest of the year. We’ve got a team that can do that, so hopefully we’ll check that one off the list.” He’s lapping the field leading the AL in homers, he has 15 more RBI than anyone else and his .316 average is one point out of the lead. It’s coming, and everything seems set up for Judge to be able to check off the two things on his homer No. “Yeah, make it to the big leagues, be an All-Star,” Judge said. “You set personal goals, especially as a 10-year-old kid,” he said. If I get a chance to do it at home, that would be great, too. But we’ll talk about it if that time ever comes.”

MILWAUKEE (AP) — Aaron Judge hit his 58th and 59th home runs of the season to move within two of Roger Maris' American League record with 16 games remaining ...

... RHP Albert Abreu (elbow inflammation) pitched a scoreless inning for Double-A Somerset, striking out two and allowing one hit. Rowdy Tellez hit a two-run homer in the eighth off Clarke Schmidt. … RHP Scott Effross (strained right shoulder) gave up a leadoff homer to Bobby Dalbec and a pair of doubles as he pitched the fifth inning for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre against Worcester. Philadelphia’s Kyle Schwarber is a distant second in the major leagues with 39 homers. Aaron Hicks and rookie Oswaldo Cabrera also went deep as the Yankees overcame 3-0 and 4-1 deficits. Seeking a Triple Crown, Judge leads the major leagues in homers and with 127 RBIs. Judge added a two-run double in the ninth as part of a four-hit day for New York (88-58), which hit five homers and avoided a three-game sweep. It’s a really thin margin of error.” “I felt like I made some good pitches, and it’s tough when you can paint one on the outside and he still puts it 110 (mph) into the stands. “It’s probably not going to be a child-friendly environment in the bleachers. “That’s really the only thing on my mind right now. It’s going to be nuts.”

“Looking at numbers during the year, all it’s going to do is drag you down and get you not focused on the right thing, which is to help the team win the game,” Judge said. If I’m focused on my batting average or my home runs, I’m not going to be focused or completely locked in on what I need to do at the plate.” You play a game, you shower, you leave and you’re ready for the next game,” Judge said. Boone said that the most significant difference has been Judge’s ability to prepare and withstand the grind of a 162-game schedule; Judge, 30, boils it down to “staying on the field.” But his theory is similar to one long attributed to the great Satchel Paige: “Don’t look back, something could be gaining on you.” Judge’s marked improvement against sliders has also benefited him greatly, a process that involved refining his bat path to keep the barrel in the zone longer and training his eyes by tracking triple-digit velocity from machines. Play the nine innings today, then recover, stretch out and do whatever you need to do for the next one.” “Talking with a lot of guys away from the field, the places I’ve worked out in the offseason and the guys I work with during the season to keep my body right. Judge went from a curiosity to a dependable regular in center field, chasing down balls in the gaps and showing off his impossibly strong arm. As manager Aaron Boone observed, “Ohtani may be having a better [year than in 2021, when he won the MVP], but Judge is having one for the ages.” There has been power in droves, with Judge far and away pacing the AL field in home runs (59) and RBIs (127), with a mindset to keep it simple and swing at strikes, every time up. On the field, off the field, on the plane – he is just the total package.”
