New York Yankees' Aaron Judge hits 50th home run of season before month of September

ANAHEIM -- A 434-foot blast off Angels reliever Ryan Tepera etched Aaron Judge's name in the major league history books on Monday night, as he became only the 10th player in MLB history -- and third member of the storied Yankees franchise -- to record multiple 50-home run seasons.

A crowd of 44,537 at sold-out Angel Stadium, a great majority of them Yankees fans, cheered Judge on with an "M-V-P! M-V-P!" refrain as he circled the bases following his eighth-inning blast that landed in the center-field waterfall and cut Los Angeles' lead to 4-3.
