Aaron Judge has set a franchise record for the New York Yankees on Saturday with his 34th home run before the All-Star break. Roger Maris hit 33 before the break in 1961. That was the year he finished with a major league record of 61. Then Judge matched that mark of 33 in 2022.

BALTIMORE — Aaron Judge set a franchise record for the New York Yankees on Saturday with his 34th home run before the All-Star break.
Roger Maris hit 33 before the break in 1961, the year he finished with a major league record of 61. Judge matched that mark in 2022 and went on to hit 62 homers, breaking what had become an American League full-season mark held by Maris. Juan Soto and Judge hit back-to-back homers in the fifth inning against Baltimore, both to center field. Soto’s 426-foot drive gave the Yankees a 5-1 lead, and Judge followed with a towering solo shot that went 431 feet.
Judge reached base all five times he came to the plate in Friday night’s series-opening win at Baltimore. In his first three plate appearances Saturday, he had a walk, a double and a homer.
