Yankees fought against the Pirates on the 21st. "Judge" Aaron Judge scored his 60th home run of the season in the second half of 9 innings, tying Babe Ruth's 60th single-season record! This was the most career record set by Babe Rus in 1927. He had only 155 games in the regular season that year (Russ had 150 touchdowns), and was later surpassed by Roger Maris in 1961 (161 touchdowns). Therefore, some people believe that Babe Rus has never been surpassed by Maris. Now Jaggy only took 147 games (143 games) to score 60 touchdowns.
This battle is already garbage time for the Pirates, but they still try to play a very stumbling role. With Rodolfo Castro's 3-point shot in 8 games, they entered the 9th inning with an advantage of 8 to 4. Jaj is the first hitter in 9 games. He scored zero in the first three games, and the Pirates replaced right-hander Wil Crowe to deal with him. After dodging a few balls, Crow decided to attack the good ball with a sinking ball. As a result, Crow left his name in history because of this ball, and was beaten by Jaggie's big stick to become the 60th shot!

Crow's unlucky luck is not over yet, Jaggie's spring cannon narrowed the gap to 3 points, Crow was hit by the Yankees next, and then "Strange Man" Giancarlo Stanton hit a goodbye Slam home run with a baton! Yankees reversed 9-8, giving Jaj a perfect end to his record night.
This year, it is not only Jaji who caught up with the legendary record, but Angel star Shohei Otani 10 wins and 10 home runs in a single season also tied Babe Russ's 10-year record of two-biter streams, so only Otani is qualified to challenge Jaji in the MVP battle this season. When it was Jaggie's turn to come up to attack in this battle, the outfield spectators spontaneously "shoulder all stand" waiting for him to strike the 60th shot. Now Jaggie is only two away from crossing the 61-shot "Marris Obstacle".
