Judge did not hit a home run during the series.
He last hit one on May 24 (against the Tampa Bay Rays).
Currently, Judge needs just one more home run to tie Aramis Ramírez (386) for 67th on the all-time list.
Following Ramírez, Hall of Famer Johnny Bench will be up next (389).
Judge is currently batting .248 with 53 hits, 17 home runs, 38 RBI’s, 43 runs and five stolen bases in 59 games.
At 34, he is still one of the best players in the MLB (despite his recent struggles).
Randy Wilkins wrote: “I don’t think there is much to Aaron Judge’s recent struggles other than his timing is off, and as a result, there are some minor mechanical things going on. And the offense is helping him out so it’s not like the lineup hasn’t been productive. Judge will figure it out.”
