Judge hit a solo home run to left in the bottom of the fourth inning, trailing 0-2 at home against the Baltimore Orioles at Yankee Stadium on the 25th (Korea time).
On a full count against Baltimore right-hander Dean Creamer, he pulled an 83.3 mile low splitter on the sixth pitch and well over the left fence. The shooting angle was 33 degrees, the batting speed was 110.4 miles (177.7 kilometers), and the distance was 407 feet (124.1 meters).
Judge, who drew an arch for three consecutive games after the Oakland Athletics on the 22nd and the Oakland game on the 23rd, reached his 56th home run of the season and led the league in both leagues. In addition, he recorded 139 RBIs for the season, leaving only one for 140 RBIs. The 140 RBIs in a season are the first in 15 years since Prince Fielder of Milwaukee and Ryan Howard of Philadelphia in 2009.
Shohei Ohtani of the Los Angeles Dodgers, who is competing with Judge for a home run, has 53 home runs. The gap widened to three. The Dodgers are set to play against the San Diego Padres on the day.
