You Can’t Even Hope to Contain Him

Aaron Judge homers in the top of the first inning of the Yankees game at the Padres. His two-run shot puts New York up 2-0. It is his 22nd extra-base hit of May, and he’s now homered in three straight games. He did not get an EXBH in his first three games of May, so those 22 have come in his last 20 games. He came into today with a .945 slugging percentage in the month.

Update: Judge doubles in the fourth inning for his 23rd EXBH of the month. He’s the 17th batter since 1920 to have 23 extra-base hits in May.
