IN 1961, Roger Maris reached 33 homers before the All-Star break on his way to hitting 61 homers and breaking Babe Ruth’s single-season record.
Sixty-one years later, Aaron Judge has matched the mark set by Maris and gets one more day to see if he can surpass him when the New York Yankees conclude the first half of the season by hosting the struggling Boston Red Sox on Sunday afternoon.
Since the All-Star game began in 1933, Judge is the sixth player in major league history with 30 homers in multiple seasons before the break. Judge also hit 30 of his 52 homers before the break in 2017 on his way to winning AL Rookie of the Year honors.Judge will make his first attempts at breaking the team record against Chris Sale . Judge is 5-for-25 against Sale with one homer and 15 strikeouts.
The Red Sox head into the finale of an inconsistent first half with five losses in their last six games and still seek their first series win against an AL East opponent, whom they are 12-25 against.
