Aaron Judge Sets Consecutive Strikeout Mark  

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Thu Aug 17, 2017 1:02 pm

Aaron Judge hit a massive home run against the New York Mets on Wednesday night, but it was another one of his at-bats that set a Major League record.

Judge struck out in the ninth inning, giving him a strikeout in 33 straight games, breaking the single-season mark set by Adam Dunn in 2012.

"Was I aware [of the record]?" the New York Yankees slugger said afterward. "I was told before the game that I tied the record. I think you just informed me that I broke the record, so thank you. There's nothing I can really say."

Judge is two games shy of the single-season record for consecutive games with a strikeout for any player -- 35, set by Montreal Expos pitcher Bill Stoneman in 1971.
