Estados Unidos Update:

Aaron Judge stayed hot, homering in each of his first two at-bats in the Yankees’ final game of the series against the Detroit Tigers at Yankee Stadium. With those two shots, he matched Joe DiMaggio’s career tally of 361 home runs, moving into fourth place on the franchise’s all-time list.

The milestone came on a deeply symbolic night. Yankee Stadium held a ceremony marking the 24th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks on the Twin Towers – with US president Donald Trump in attendance.

The Yankees’ all-time leaderboard remains topped by Babe Ruth, who hit 659 of his 714 career homers in pinstripes. He is followed by Mickey Mantle with 536 and Lou Gehrig with 493, leaving Judge still chasing the top three on the historic list.
