Yankees slugger Judge arrives in Toronto looking to make MLB history
Stunted by the rain Sunday night, Aaron Judge is taking his record chase on the road.
Judge remained at 60 home runs, one short of Roger Maris' American League mark, when the New York Yankees' 2-0 victory over the visiting Boston Red Sox was called after six innings because of heavy showers.
The big slugger went 1-for-2 with a double and was due up next for the Yankees when play was stopped. The game was called after a 98-minute delay, sending Judge to Toronto still in pursuit of Maris.
But the four-time all-star insisted he wasn't disappointed he was unable to hit No. 61 on New York's 6-0 homestand.
"You can't think along those lines," Judge said. "It's not our last home game, so I'm not worried about it."
No. 60 ties The Sultan of Swat for 2nd all-time in American League history!<a href="https://twitter.com/TheJudge44?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@TheJudge44</a>
