On Wednesday, the New York Yankees swept the Kansas City Royals with a 7-0 victory to complete their three-game series.
Aaron Judge finished the win with one RBI in three at-bats.
The Yankees are now off on Thursday (before a series with the Athletics that starts on Friday in Sacramento).
Aaron Judge Can Make History
Judge grew up less than two hours away from Sacramento.
He will get the chance to make MLB history near his hometown, as he needs just one home run to move up on the all-time list.
One more would tie Aramis Ramírez (386) for 67th.

The 34-year-old is in his 11th MLB season (all with New York).
