Aaron Judge, man, oh man. It’s almost impossible to come up with any more adjectives to describe his 2022 season. The New York Yankees<\/a> took three out of four against the Kansas City Royals<\/a>. After a disappointing series loss against cross-town rival New York Mets, a great bounce-back series win for the bombers. Clay Holmes, who blew the save in game four, is the only reason the Yankees don’t leave with a four-game sweep. It was a rough month of July for New York, who went 13-13. They will look to heat up as the postseason nears.<\/span><\/p>\n

Aaron Judge<\/h2>\n

Judge drove in nine with four home runs and had a game two walk-off ding dong which was only the second hit of the day for the Yanks. Judge has gone scorched earth since right before the All-Star break. In the last 14-game stretch, Judge slashes an incredible .426\/.523\/1.130 (yes, that’s his slugging) with 12 homers and 26 RBI. And for the entire month of July, Aaron slashed .333\/.446\/.806 with a 1.252 OPS.<\/span><\/p>\n

Since Judge\u2019s 14-game stretch began on July 14, he\u2019s outhomered seven different teams, including the Royals (eight homers).<\/p>\n
