Aaron Judge made history by hitting his 34th home run this season, becoming the first Yankees player to reach this milestone before the All-Star break, surpassing Roger Maris' record of 33 set in 1961. This home run was part of the Yankees' 6-1 victory over the Baltimore Orioles, securing their first series win in nearly a month. The Yankees' offense was also bolstered by Austin Wells' three-run homer and Juan Soto's solo shot. The game followed a tense Friday night that saw benches clear after Orioles' Heston Kjerstad was hit by a pitch. With these wins, the Yankees pulled into a virtual tie with the Orioles atop the AL East. The Yankees will look for a series sweep in the finale before the All-Star break.
