Judge went 2-for-7 with a solo home run and an additional run between both ends of Tuesday's doubleheader split with the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Judge smacked his 62nd long ball of the season in his first trip to the plate during the second game of the twin bill, breaking a tie with former Yankees great Roger Maris for the American League record. The slugger's chase for the record-tying and record-setting home runs seemed to affect how pitchers approached him over the past two weeks, as Judge has drawn walks in 30 percent of his plate appearances while collecting only 41 at-bats in his last 14 games. With the milestone home run now behind Judge, manager Aaron Boone suggested that the outfielder could rest in Wednesday's regular-season finale, though a final decision hasn't yet been made.

Judge went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run and an additional run scored in Wednesday's 8-3 victory over Toronto.
EDGE Analysis
Judge made history in the top of the seventh inning as he crushed the eighth pitch of his at-bat against reliever Tim Mayza 117.4 mph to left field for his 61st home run of the season, tying Roger Maris' long-standing single season AL home run record. All eyes will be on Judge over the final week of the season as the Yankees have seven games left for the slugger to surpass Maris and set the AL record.

Judge went 0-for-1 with two runs and four walks in a 5-2 win against Toronto on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Judge lined out to third base leading off the contest and took a free pass in each of his subsequent four plate appearances. The slugger has gone seven games without a long ball since hitting No. 60 against Pittsburgh on Sept. 20, but that's largely because he's seeing few pitches to hit. Over the seven-contest stretch, Judge has walked 12 times in 31 plate appearances, adding five hits (including three doubles) for a .548 on-base percentage. He has eight games remaining in the regular season to attempt to tie and eclipse Roger Maris' single-season American League record of 61 home runs.

Judge went 2-for-4 with two doubles and two runs scored in Wednesday's 14-2 win over Pittsburgh.
EDGE Analysis
While he just missed making history with a ground rule double in the fifth inning, Judge's two hits on the night extended his hitting streak to 11 games. During that stretch, he is 22-for-44 with 10 extra-base hits, 15 runs scored and 10 RBI. His next shot at tying Roger Maris' AL home run record will come during a four-game set against the Red Sox at home this week.

Judge went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 9-8 victory over Pittsburgh.
EDGE Analysis
With a solo home run in the bottom of the ninth inning Tuesday, Judge inched closer toward history. He passed Xander Bogaerts in batting average to claim the lead in the AL triple crown race and now has 60 homers, just one shy of tying the AL record set by Roger Maris in 1961. Judge's remarkable month of September has improved his season-long slash line to .316/.419/.703, and if it holds, he would be the first player to slug over .700 since Barry Bonds did in 2004.

Judge went 4-for-5 with two home runs, a double, four RBI, three runs and a walk during Sunday's 12-8 win over Milwaukee.
EDGE Analysis
Judge extended his hitting streak to nine games during Sunday's high-scoring matchup, and he's had six multi-hit performances across that span. He's up to 59 home runs in 2022 following his multi-homer performance, bringing him within two home runs of tying the single-season American League record set by Roger Maris in 1961. Since the start of September, the 30-year-old has posted a 1.604 OPS with eight home runs, five doubles, 18 runs, 14 RBI and a stolen base over 15 games.

Judge went 3-for-4 with two homers, two RBI and three runs scored in Tuesday's extra-inning win over Boston.
EDGE Analysis
The AL MVP candidate had a huge day at the plate Tuesday, as he tied the game up at 3-3 with a solo shot in the sixth inning. After the Red Sox responded with a run of their own, he launched another solo shot to tie the game at 4-4. The multi-home run game was his 10th of the season and gives him a league-best 57 home runs. He also now has a 10-game hitting streak, during which he is 19-for-37 with six home runs, 11 runs scored and 10 RBI.

Judge went 1-for-5 with five walks, a solo home run and a stolen base Wednesday as the Yankees swept a doubleheader with the Twins.
EDGE Analysis
Minnesota's pitchers tried their best to work around the major-league home run leader, but Judge still launched his 55th homer of the season in the fourth inning of the matinee off rookie Louie Varland -- his fourth straight game with a long ball. He then showed off his athleticism by stealing his career-high 16th base of the year in the nightcap. Since the beginning of August, Judge has been an offensive juggernaut, slashing .312/.479/.725 over 33 games with 13 homers, six steals, 23 runs and 27 RBI.

EDGE Analysis
With the score tied 2-2 in the sixth inning, Judge launched a two-run shot to left field to put New York ahead for good. The performance marked his third straight game with a long ball and pushed his season total to a league-leading 54 homers. Since struggling through a nine-game homerless stretch in mid-August, Judge has gone deep eight times in his subsequent 13 contests.

Judge went 3-for-5 with a solo home run, a double and two runs scored in Sunday's 2-1 win over the Rays.
EDGE Analysis
Judge mashed a belt-high sinker from Shawn Armstrong 450 feet to left field to lead off the game for the Yankees. The slugger also recorded a base hit in the fifth inning and doubled and scored in the seventh for good measure. Judge now has 53 homers, a career high and the league's highest total since Pete Alonso hit 53 in 2019. Judge is now slashing .299/.401/.674 on the season.
