In today’s SI:AM from Dan_Gartland: 👨⚖️ No. 60 for Judge (dchav96) 🏈 A college football coach’s brush with death (RJ_Writes) 🏀 The best in the West (RohanNadkarni)
, making him the first player since 2001 to hit at least that many and putting him just one behind Roger Maris’s American League record.
Judge’s historic blast wasn’t even the most dramatic homer of the inning, though. After the next three Yankees batters reached base, Giancarlo Stanton came to the plate with the bases loaded, trailing 8–5. On a 2–2 count,—a line drive that flew over the wall in left in a flash—for a walk-off grand slam.
After the game, the always-humble Judge was more interested in talking about the team win than his milestone homer.. “That’s what this team is made up of. We were kind of slow to start, especially against a good rookie pitcher, but guys worked hard until the very end. So I will remember those four at-bats leading up to Giancarlo’s grand slam walk off.”
Judge won’t say it but I will: What he’s doing is absolutely ridiculous. Not only did he become the first player in two decades and one of only six ever to hit 60 homers in a season, he woke up this morning leading the American League in all three triple crown stats . Batting average isn’t a sexy stat anymore, but to be having one of the best power-hitting seasons in history while also making contact better than anyone in the AL is outrageous.
The NL race is more interesting. Those spots are currently held by the Braves, Padres and Phillies, but the Brewers are just 2½ games behind Philadelphia. Tonight’s Mets-Brewers game has major playoff implications for both teams.The Dodgers are 103–45 and don’t have much to play for after clinching the division all the way back on Sept. 13, but they do have a shot at finishing the season with one of the best records ever.
