Every time Aaron Judge hits a fly ball in Yankee Stadium, there is a collective gasp through the crowd.
Judge hit another fly ball Friday in the Yankees’ 5-4 win over the Red Sox, but it was hauled in by Boston left fielder Tommy Pham. He finished his night with a single, two strikeouts and the flyout in four at-bats.
The countdown is on for Judge to tie and pass Roger Maris’ American League single-season home run record in New York. The Yankees will host the Red Sox on Sunday night before hitting the road for a three-game series against the Blue Jays. They’ll return to Bronx Sept. 30 for a three-game set against the Orioles. That will be the team’s final home series of the regular season.
