New York Yankees captain Aaron Judge belted his 350th career home run on Saturday, reaching the milestone in just 1,088 games and eclipsing Mark McGwire’s previous record pace by 192 contests. The ninth-inning, two-run shot was Judge’s 35th homer of the season and made him the fourth player to hit 350 while wearing Yankee pinstripes, joining Babe Ruth, Alex Rodriguez and Giancarlo Stanton. The blast came too late to extend the Yankees’ five-game winning streak, as the Chicago Cubs held on for a 5–2 victory in the Bronx. Left-hander Matthew Boyd improved to 10-3, limiting New York to four hits over eight scoreless innings, while Daniel Palencia secured his 11th save. Yankees starter Max Fried exited after three innings with persistent blister issues, giving up four runs, three earned. Judge’s milestone keeps him in striking distance of Seattle’s Cal Raleigh, who leads the majors with 38 home runs, while Los Angeles Angels star Shohei Ohtani sits third at 32. Judge also tops the American League in batting average (.358), on-base percentage (.465) and slugging percentage (.739) heading into next week’s All-Star Game in Atlanta, where he will serve as American League captain.
