While the New York Yankees suffered a\u00a0devastating series loss\u00a0to their arch-rivals, the Boston Red Sox, this past weekend, Yankees outfielder and captain Aaron Judge made history.<\/p>\n

Judge tied Yankees legend Lou Gehrig with 43 multi-home-run games at Yankee Stadium, hitting\u00a0two HRs\u00a0in Sunday night’s game. The hits, which scored two runs each, came in the 1st and 9th innings. Judge. however, wasn’t satisfied with the performance, given that the Yankees took an 11-7 loss to Boston.<\/p>\n

“Would’ve been sweet if it was a win,” Judge said after the game. “[I’m] trying not to think about it, just trying to do my job there. Every time you get mentioned with those legends it’s quite an honor but it would’ve been sweeter to talk about it after a win.”<\/p>\n
