Aaron Judge\'s HR Drought Reaches 16 Games 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Fri Sep 13, 2024 12:02 pm

Aaron Judge leads all of baseball with 51 home runs this season, but the New York Yankees slugger has now gone 16 straight games without a long ball.

He last went deep on Aug. 25 against the Colorado Rockies.

Judge extended his career-long homerless streak by going 1-for-4 with a single against the Boston Red Sox on Thursday night.

\"He\'s got 51 homers,\" Aaron Boone said. \"And tonight, just missed one. Pummeled a ball that [Rafael] Devers made an unbelievable play on. Turning that ball into a double play was about as good a play as you\'ll see. So, I mean, look, homers, even for guys like that, they still come in bunches and you\'re going to have those stretches. I guess it\'s amazing that he has avoided those, but that\'s just testament to how good of a hitter and how much power he has.\"

Since Aug. 26, Judge has posted a slash line of .207/.352/.259.
