Yankees slugger Aaron Judge hit his 50th homer of the season on Sunday, connecting in the first inning against the Colorado Rockies.
into the visiting bullpen in left-center to give the Yankees a 2-1 lead. It was his 18th homer in the first this season, matching Alex Rodriguez in 2001 for the major league record.
“A great accomplishment but there’s still more to be done,” Judge said after New York’s win. “This team’s got a big mission in front of them and we’re all focused on that right now.” Sosa had four straight 50-homer seasons from 1998 to 2001. McGwire did the same from 1996 to 1999, including his 70-homer season in 1998. Ruth had back-to-back 50-homer seasons in 1920 and 1921 and 1927 and 1928 with the Yankees.
“We’re running out of superlatives to what we’re seeing, especially in this time where hitting is difficult,” Yankees manager Aaron Boone said. “It’s just fun to watch him, first of all who he is and the teammate that he is, but then just his desire and obsession with just getting a little bit better each and every year. And that’s what we’re seeing.”
