Overview

  • Judge reached 350 home runs in his 1,088th game to eclipse Mark McGwire’s previous mark of 1,280 games by 192 contests
  • That two-run drive in the ninth came off Cubs reliever Brad Keller and ended New York’s five-game winning streak with a 5-2 defeat at Yankee Stadium
  • The 33-year-old outfielder has collected 35 homers, a .358 batting average and a 1.204 OPS to lead all of MLB heading into the All-Star break
  • Since his 2016 debut, he has rewritten long-ball history by becoming the fastest player to 250 and 300 career homers before reaching the 350 mark
  • He remains on pace to challenge McGwire’s record for fewest games to 400 homers if he sustains his current power output
