Overview

  • New York beat the White Sox 8-1 to reach 90-68, matching Toronto after the Red Sox defeated the Blue Jays.
  • Aaron Judge homered twice to reach 50 and 51, joining Babe Ruth, Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa as the only players with four 50-homer seasons.
  • Judge logged his 46th career multi-homer game, tying Mickey Mantle for second in Yankees history.
  • Max Fried worked seven innings of one-run ball with seven strikeouts, capping a 19-5 regular season with a 2.86 ERA after his eight-year, $218 million signing.
  • The Yankees have already clinched a playoff berth, and Judge underscored the division push while praising Fried as "an ace."
