Apparently, there are no days off when you are chasing history. Despite Tuesday night’s champagne showers celebrating an AL East division title, Aaron Judge is back in the lineup Wednesday as the DH with home run No. 61 in his sights.
Judge will bat lead off for Aaron Boone’s Bombers. Since mashing home run No. 60 on Sept. 20 against the Pittsburgh Pirates, Judge has gone seven straight games without a home run.
Despite the mini power outage, the Yankees’ superstar is still leading in all AL Triple Crown categories entering Wednesday. There are just eight regular season games remaining for Judge to pass Roger Maris’ AL single-season record of 61 home runs.
After playing the final game of this three-game series in Toronto, the Bombers will head back to the Bronx to play the Baltimore Orioles for their final homestand of the regular season.
