NEW YORK -- The bubbly is on ice for the Yankees to celebrate the American League East title, and Aaron Judge’s bat has turned red-hot.
Judge homered for a fifth consecutive game on Thursday night, blasting his Major League-leading 58th home run off the Orioles’ Bryan Baker in the seventh inning.
The two-run drive, a Statcast-projected 394-foot blast that left Judge’s bat at 110.9 mph, came with Juan Soto aboard and gave the Yankees a 9-0 lead at the time.
