Major League Baseball Angels Shohei Ohtani and Yankees Judge, who is competing for league MVP this season, hit 58 and 59 home runs against the Brewers, just two more than the league record for the number of home runs in a season. I approached.
The Yankees judge started on the 18th in the match against the Brewers in Milwaukee, the home of the opponent, as No. 1 and center, and hit the No. 58 solo home run for the first time in four games in the second at-bat three times.
In addition, in the 4th at bat in the 7th inning, which led by 5 points, he hit the 59th solo home run, which was the second in this game, and the opponent pitcher raised both hands at the moment when he was hit by a big hit with a flight distance of 135 meters. rice field.
With this, Judge is two short of the American League record of 61 in a season set by fellow Yankee Roger Mullis in 1961.
There are 16 games left in the regular season, and if the pace continues, it will be 65, which is the momentum to break the league record for the first time in 61 years.
Continuing to hit home runs at an astonishing pace Judge, who is leading the league in both the home run and RBI divisions, far ahead of the 2nd and lower ranks, has a big hit of 4 out of 5 at bats and a batting average of 30% and 1 minute. Raising it to 6 rins, it was close to the top of the league by 1 rins.
Along with the MVP battle with Otani, attention is also focused on whether he can achieve the triple crown for the first time in 10 years in the major leagues.
