Aaron Judge becomes fastest to 350 HRs, but Yankees fall to Cubs

NEW YORK -- Aaron Judge became the fastest player to hit 350 home runs, reaching the mark with a two-run drive for the New York Yankees off the Chicago Cubs' Brad Keller on Saturday.

Judge hit his 35th home run of the season, a two-run blast in the ninth, but it was too little too late as the Yankees fell to the Cubs 5-2 in the Bronx.

Playing in his 1,088th game, Judge bettered Mark McGwire's record of 1,280 by nearly 200 games.

Chicago starter Matthew Boyd gave up a pair of doubles to Judge on the afternoon, but kept the rest of the Yankees in check, winning the matchup of All-Star left-handers against Max Fried, who left after just three innings of work due to another blister issue on his pitching hand.
