Aaron Judge down to 3 games to hit record-breaking 62nd home run, Yankees in Texas for final series

NEW YORK -- The Yankees wrapped up their final home series of the regular season Sunday with a loss to the Baltimore Orioles, and Aaron Judge still remains one home run away from owning the single-season American League record.

Judge hit his historic 61st home run on Wednesday in Toronto and moved into a first-place tie with Roger Maris. However, he struggled a bit against the Orioles, going 1-for-7 with a bunch of walks and strikeouts.

His final opportunities to set the record will come during a four-game series against the Rangers in Arlington, Texas.
