Yankee Aaron Judge Reaches 300 Career HRs

The 32-year-old slugged a three-run shot on a 3-0 pitch off White Sox right-hander Chad Kuhl in the top of the eighth inning. Kuhl intentionally walked Juan Soto ahead of Judge to try to set up a possible inning-ending double play. It was Judge’s 43rd home run of the season.

Judge also reached the 300-homer plateau in 3,431 at-bats, 400 fewer than Hall of Famer Babe Ruth’s previous record.

Yankees and Rangers Split Doubleheader

New York won the opener 8-0 behind four RBIs from Austin Wells, but the latter game turned significantly for the Rangers after Cole was lifted following the first out of the sixth inning at 90 pitches with the score tied 1-1.

In the span of about six and a half hours, the Yankees showed flashes of the peak of their powers, a team that could out-talent others all the way to the World Series.

And flashes of what could go wrong along the way for a club that still has holes.
