TORONTO -- Aaron Judge connected for his American League-leading 47th home run on Sunday afternoon at Rogers Centre, closing within two blasts of Mark McGwire's record for the most home runs hit by a rookie.
Judge launched a solo blast to left field off Blue Jays starter Marcus Stroman in the sixth inning, trimming New York's deficit to 9-2. McGwire hit 49 home runs for the Athletics in 1987.
NEW YORK -- The young Yankees busted out the bats in Wednesday afternoon's 11-3 win over the Twins, beginning with Aaron Judge's American League-leading 45th home run, as the rookie slugger went back-to-back with fellow "Baby Bomber" Gary Sanchez in the third inning off right-hander Bartolo Colon.
