After nearly a week of waiting, Judge led off the second game of Tuesday’s doubleheader with a towering shot to left field against the Texas Rangers. Judge tied Ruth with his 60th on Sept. 20 with a solo shot in the ninth inning against the Pirates. The homer sparked a five-run rally for the Yankees with a walk-off grand slam by Giancarlo Stanton.
Judge, 30, has had a magical season as he pursues what will now likely be a bank-breaking contract extension. Judge turned down the Yankees' final offer in spring training and said he would not negotiate during the final season on his current contract.In addition to hitting 62 home runs, he's in the hunt to win the AL triple crown -- leading in homers, batting average and runs batted in.
