In the Yankees' 147th game of the year, Judge became the third Yankee to reach the 60-homer mark.
He's just the sixth MLB player with at least 60 homers in a season, accomplished nine times - topped by Barry Bonds' record 73 homers in 2001 and Mark McGwire's 70 in 1998. Judge's solo shot came in the ninth inning, off Pittsburgh Pirates' right-hander Wil Crowe, cutting the Pirates' lead to 8-5 on a night when the Yankees' slugging leadoff hitter grounded out twice, walked and struck out in his four previous plate appearances.Giancarlo Stanton finished it with a walk-off grand slam, sending the Yankees toIt was Stanton's first homer since Sept.

And with Judge also aiming for an AL Triple Crown, “I’ve got to believe it’s right there, on the short list of one of the all-time best seasons,’’ Boone said. “ not just a slugging DH.’’
