New York Yankees star Aaron Judge added another impressive accomplishment to his collection in Saturday's loss against the Chicago Cubs (box score), launching his 35th home run of the season and the 350th of his career.
Aaron Judge made history on Saturday afternoon. Judge recorded his 350th career home run in the bottom of the ninth inning during the New York Yankees' 5-2 loss to the Chicago Cubs. In doing so, Judge became the fastest player in league history to reach 350 homers, passing Mark McGwire in the process:
Judge made three outstanding catches in right field on Friday night, saving three runs in an 11-0 rout of the Chicago Cubs that extended the New York Yankees’ winning streak to five following a six-game slide.

Chicago’s Matthew Boyd won a matchup of All-Star left-handers as Max Fried left early because of yet another blister on his pitching hand, and the Cubs stopped the New York Yankees’ five-game winning streak with a 5-2 victory.
The robbery occurred immediately after Judge’s lone misplay of the night, when he said he lost Nico Hoerner’s single to right-center in the lights that nearly knocked Rodón out of the game, but Boone gave the lefty one more batter and he got Tucker.
Aaron Judge (New York Yankees), Eugenio Suarez (Arizona Diamondbacks), Cal Raleigh (Seattle Mariners), Seiya Suzuki (Chicago Cubs) and Pete Alonso (New York Mets) have combined to make some rare baseball history that hasn't been seen in the last 19 years.
The Yankees got a big win in their series opener against the Cubs behind a huge defensive effort from Aaron Judge.
