Judge has been pretty great as well. With a 3-for-4 performance on Saturday, the All-Star and reigning MVP is leading the league with a .358 average and a 1.204 OPS. He also has 81 RBI. His 35 home runs, meanwhile, are second in baseball – Seattle’s Cal Raleigh has 38 – and the most ever by a Yankee prior to the All-Star break.
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.
After opening their series against the Cubs Friday night with an 11-0 annihilation that marked their fifth straight victory, which came on the heels of a six-game losing streak, the Yankees were flat with the bats two straight games and skidded into the All-Star break with a 4-1 loss Sunday afternoon in front of 45,435 at the Stadium.
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.
The New York Yankees walked off the Seattle Mariners in comeback fashion on Thursday night. Judge hit a walk-off sacrifice fly in the tenth inning.
Aaron Judge was disappointed to see D.J. LeMahieu depart New York this week, and the Yankees captain also addressed rumors that he helped the veteran infielder remain on the roster last year.
The Yankees extended their winning streak to four straight games with an extra-inning walk-off RBI from Aaron Judge.
