Judge, Raleigh Lead Clean MLB Home Run Race

Aaron Judge and Cal Raleigh are leading an exciting MLB home run race, drawing comparisons to the famed 1998 chase but without the cloud of performance-enhancing drugs. Judge, with 34 home runs and a .360 average, and Raleigh, who leads with 36 homers, are also frontrunners for the AL MVP award. Both players homered during a recent Yankees-Mariners series, highlighting their impact on the season. Judge recently helped the Yankees snap a six-game losing streak against the Mets, contributing with both his bat and defense, while teammates like Cody Bellinger and pitcher Max Fried provided crucial support. The Yankees aim to regain momentum in their pursuit of the AL East title and postseason success. The MVP and home run races are expected to be closely contested as Judge and Raleigh continue their standout seasons.
