Aaron Judge continued his march through New York Yankees history on Tuesday, belting his 359th homer to pass Yogi Berra for fifth on the club’s all-time list.
Judge, 33, has 44 home runs on the year after going deep off the Detroit Tigers’ Casey Mize for a first-inning solo shot in New York. The shot sailed 412 feet, well beyond the fence in right-center field.
Judge is in his 10th major league season, all with the Yankees. He finished the night 1-for-3 as New York fell 12-2 to Detroit.
Berra, a Hall of Fame catcher, guided the Yankees to 10 World Series championships and was an 18-time All-Star from 1946-63. He was a three-time American League Most Valuable Player.
Judge could be in line for his third AL MVP this year as he leads the league in batting average (.321), runs (115), walks
