New York Yankees' Aaron Judge hits 58th homer, moves within three of American League record

MILWAUKEE -- Aaron Judge hit the 58th home run of his magical season Sunday afternoon, blasting an opposite-field, second-deck shot against the Milwaukee Brewers and leaving himself three short of tying the American League single-season record.

In his second at-bat, Judge took a 92-mph Jason Alexander sinker that leaked over the plate and deposited it 414 feet away in the right-field stands. It was his first home run since hitting a pair against the Boston Red Sox on Thursday and moved Judge into a tie for 11th place on the single-season home run list with Jimmie Foxx in 1932, Hank Greenberg in 1938, Mark McGwire in 1997 and Ryan Howard in 2006.
