Jesse Winker’s walk-off homer punctuates massive win over Orioles
This 10-game series against teams with playoff hopes may not define the Mets’ season, but it could break it. The only thing that broke Wednesday may have been Jesse Winker’s spiked helmet. After three games, the Mets’ playoff hopes are still there and have only grown stronger after Winker’s first hit with his new team […]
Aaron Judge hits 300th homer as Yankees clobber White Sox
CHICAGO — For weeks, teams didn’t want to play Aaron Judge. It would have been much easier for opposing managers to just hold up four fingers when he came up to bat and walk him, allowing him to face anyone other than the Yankees’ slugger, who has been in a state of extraordinary form in […]
Jersey worn by Babe Ruth during ‘Called Shot’ homer could haul in $30 million

Aaron Judge’s early homer prompts intentional walk
Aaron Judge, who seems to find a new way to surprise every day, reached base four of five times, including a two-run homer in the first inning (his 41st) and an intentional walk with two outs and the bases loaded in the second inning. The Blue Jays didn’t want to pitch to him. Austin Wells […]
Aaron Judge’s mammoth Yankees homer earns him another milestone

Jazz Chisholm’s clutch Yankees homer leads to epic WFAN call
Jazz Chisholm Jr. has made quite an impression with the Yankees and New York, and WFAN has already reported on the rookie’s home run projections.

Aaron Judge’s monster homer not enough in Yankees’ loss
BOSTON — Aaron Judge visited a part of Fenway Park few have ever been to before, the Yankees went from one run down to two with one swing and many Red Sox fans asked each other if they’d seen where the home run landed. It was epic. It was a jolt to a team that […]
Mets’ third-inning homer barrage proved crucial in win over Braves
It felt like it would never end. After the Braves jumped out to an early lead on a two-run homer by Adam Duvall in the second inning, the Mets put up a stellar performance in the third inning, scoring seven runs on three home runs. The explosive inning led the Mets to an 8-4 victory […]
Pete Alonso snaps homer drought in Mets’ blowout win
Pete Alonso still has time to turn around a lackluster year. Perhaps the first baseman will thrive playing in the same spot where Aaron Judge had his best season ever heading into free agency. Alonso, who had hit just one home run in 69 at-bats, hit a two-run homer off Gerrit Cole in the top […]
