Aaron Judge went five games without a home run and heads to Toronto one short of Roger Maris, but the Yankees won each game and Judge “was in the middle of ...

When you have that type of mind-set that, ‘Hey, it’s a playoff game, this is just another game, I’m trying to help the team win,’ it kind of makes it easier to step in the box and lock it in.” The Rogers Centre should be loud with the Blue Jays closing in on a wild-card berth, but the Yankees and Judge are used to that. Judge also leads the Yankees in games played, with 148, and Boone gave him partial rest on Sunday by using him as the designated hitter. Hopefully being in those kinds of games and having success in those kinds of games and moments is something that serves us well come the postseason.” That’s kind of how we weathered that rough patch — we tried to stay the same, in neutral, all the time.” Just proud of the way he’s handling it and continuing to be the central figure in us winning games.” But Judge has been a force through it all, chasing not only Maris but the triple crown, which has been accomplished only once since 1967 (by Detroit’s Miguel Cabrera in 2012). “He was right in the middle of all of it. And, of course, there was this: The Yankees won all the games and carried a seven-game streak across the border. Instead of history, Judge gave the fans a lesson in just how difficult it is to homer on demand. Whether he’s on a tear or he’s struggling, he’s the same guy always and we feed off that energy, too — no matter how good or bad you’re doing, we’ve got to keep it level for every other guy in there. Judge came to bat 21 times after smashing his 60th homer in the ninth inning on Tuesday against Pittsburgh.

New York Yankees slugger Aaron Judge will try again Monday night to match Roger Maris' American League single-season record of 61 home runs.

Judge enters play Monday leading the AL in home runs (60) and RBI (128), and his league-leading .31434 batting average is narrowly ahead of Xander Bogaerts (.31380). The Blue Jays will send righty Kevin Gausman (12-10, 3.32 ERA) to the mound.

Boone reminded Rizzo that the team needed him healthy for the playoffs. When Boone told first baseman Anthony Rizzo—who missed most of September with a back injury and headaches caused by the epidural to treat it—that he would get Friday off, Rizzo protested. “Then I’m like, ‘1-for-3 with a double, a walk and a stolen base and a play in the outfield—it’s like, that’s a pretty good night.’” That’s a positive outcome for the team. Even Judge, who professed not to hear the fans while he was hitting, admitted he heard them as soon as he was done. At one point Saturday, a group of Yankees fans started a “Let’s go, Red Sox” chant. Alas, he had to settle for watching Judge rope a leadoff double down the left field line, walk on six pitches and fly out to center. “It’s, you know, the drama of sport. “Every fly ball, we’re screaming with the fans.” Rain pelted the field.

We have the first matchup of this three-game AL East intradivisional series with the.

It has been a tougher stretch for Gausman recently, posting a 4.06 ERA over his last five starts. It is worth noting that the Over has been a strong trend for each team. Additionally, last night’s game against the Red Sox was shortened due to rain. As you can probably guess by now, I would lean towards taking the Over in this game. Over his last two games against the Blue Jays, he possesses a 7.45 ERA and 1.52 WHIP. However, that first game back was against Pittsburgh. It has been a tougher stretch for Severino in the back-half of the season, who is 2-2 with a 4.50 ERA over his last six games. The main reason for this concern is New York’s projected starting pitcher, right-hander We should not expect regression in this particular matchup as he has posted a .403 xBA, .860 xSLG, and .561 xwOBA through those 28 plate appearances. Over that stretch, Gausman has produced a 4.06 ERA. This contest is the 17th meeting between these two clubs this season with the Yankees having won nine of the first 16 matchups. Article content

With two games to go before reaching Ruth's game total, Aaron Judge still sits at 60 homers.

The bell had not yet rang on the ‘98 home run race — oh no, it was just getting interesting. That led us to the eighth inning, where Sosa stepped up to the plate with the bases loaded and delivered this blast: His Cardinals were out of it by this point in the season, but McGwire still had a personal race to compete in — he had to outlast Sammy Sosa and become the new home run king. Baltimore blanked them 1-0 behind an excellent performance from Steve Barber, but all eyes were on Maris still as the time ticked away on his chances to break the Babe’s record. Unfortunately the Jays escaped that jam, and wound up winning the game as well. Instead, he settled for a first-inning single and a run on a sacrifice fly and later working some walks — one of which was intentional to move a runner to third base.

New York Yankees Aaron Judge was unable to notch his 61st home run in a 3-2 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays on Monday.
