All rise for the American League MVP.

Aaron Judge hit his 61st home run of the season last night, tying Roger Maris’ American League record set in 1961.

After going seven straight games without a homer, Judge delivered a two-run home run to break a 3-3 tie in the seventh inning of an 8-3 win over the Toronto Blue Jays.

Per ESPN Stats & Info, the record-tying home run was the hardest-hit home run of the season at 117.4 miles per hour.

If you read this column on Wednesday morning, then you know that Judge was +255 to hit a home run at FanDuel.

Judge to hit a home run and the Yankees to win was +363.

After tying Maris’ record in Toronto, Judge and company head back to New York for a three-game set against the Baltimore Orioles that begins on Friday night.

Yankees Stadium will be absolutely rocking as Judge looks to break the all-time record in front of the home fans in the Bronx in their final home series before the playoffs begin.

The Yankees have seven games left on their regular season schedule.

The next three are at home against the Orioles.

That’s important because Judge has already hit nine home runs against Baltimore this season, which is the most by any one player against any one team.
