New York Yankees star Aaron Judge hit his 358th career homer in the first inning of Sunday’s game against the Chicago White Sox, moving into a tie with Yogi Berra for fifth in franchise history.
Judge drove an 0-2 cutter from Martín Pérez deep to center for a one-out solo drive. Judge’s 43rd homer of the season had a 112.6 mph exit velocity and traveled 426 feet.
He batted again in the third and doubled off the wall in center. He scampered home on Cody Bellinger‘s double to right.
The 33-year-old Judge also connected for a solo homer in New York’s 11-inning victory at Chicago on Saturday night. The two-time AL MVP and seven-time All-Star was batting .218 (17 for 78) with five homers and 11 RBIs in August coming into the day.
Hall of Famers Babe Ruth (659 homers), Mickey Mantle (536), Lou Gehrig (493) and Joe DiMaggio (361) are on top of the Yankees’ career homers list. Judge’s drive produced the first change in the franchise’s top five since Aug. 7, 1957.

Judge was activated from the 10-day injured list on Aug. 5 after being sidelined by a flexor strain in his right elbow. He has been serving as the team’s designated hitter, but he could return to the outfield at some point this season.

Fã de Ronaldo, Yago Dora faz penteado ‘Cascão’ para comemorar título mundial de surfe
-- Eu cresci com as memórias do Ronaldo jogando na seleção brasileira. Quando eu era criança, o Brasil ganhou o penta e essa memória ficou marcada na minha cabeça. Sempre foi meu jogador favorito. Eu acho o futebol um esporte muito bonito. Eu adoro assistir. É um pouco mais difícil assistir agora que a gente tem de estar a cada hora do lado do mundo, com os horários diferentes, então ficou um pouco mais difícil de acompanhar, mas quando era mais novo acompanhava tudo e sempre fui fanzaço do Ronaldo do jeito que ele jogava. E eu há dois anos. Atrás eu quis mudar o número da minha laica para 9, porque acho que o 9 representa isso, o cara que chega ali na hora importante e define o jogo e faz as coisas acontecerem. Eu queria isso para a […]

Where does Bill Belichick’s first game at UNC rank among the most embarrassing sports debuts?

Sabalenková lituje zdrcenou Vondroušovou: Vím, jak hrozně ji to musí bolet
Vondroušová se po vleklých zdravotních problémech konečně dostala do své top formy a experti jí po spanilé jízdě newyorským grandslamem dávali více než solidní šance i do utkání proti nejlepší hráčce WTA Sabalenkové.Necelé dvě hodiny před startem night session na Arthur Ashe Stadium však vyšla najevo smutná zpráva o odstoupení Vondroušové z turnaje, když ji do hry nepustilo zraněné koleno a po konzultaci s turnajovým doktorem se rozhodla neriskovat zhoršení zranění.„Markéty je mi moc líto, obzvlášť po tom, čím vším si prošla. Hrála tu fantastický tenis a vím, jak hrozně moc ji to musí bolet. Opatruj se a doufám, že budeš brzy v pořádku,“ přispěchala s reakcí Sabalenková ve svém instagramovém příběhu.
