If Aaron Judge is going to hit 62 home runs, he will have to do it on the road.
In the final regular-season game of the season at Yankee Stadium, Judge went 0-for-3 with a walk and three strikeouts as the Yankees fell to the Orioles 3-1 on a cold, wet and windy Sunday afternoon.
Beginning Monday, the Yankees will end the regular season with four games in three days in Texas against the Rangers, with Judge still trying to pass Roger Maris for sole possession of the American League and franchise single-season home run record. The Yankees lost the game in the seventh inning when Aroldis Chapman walked three of the five batters he faced, including one with the bases loaded to force in a run that broke a 1-1 tie.
In the fifth inning, with the rain picking up, Judge got a pitch to do damage with — a 92 mph fastball over the middle of the plate. But he fouled it back to the net, the only strike he saw during the plate appearance as he walked on five pitches.
