Aaron Judge blasted his 16th home run of the young MLB season back on May 10 in a 4–3 loss to the Brewers that dropped the Yankees out of first place in the American League East. He woke up the next morning as the AL leader in both homers and RBIs. It looked as though he was on track for another historically great offensive season. Yet it's baseball, and the next slump is always lurking just off screen to frustrate even the most accomplished hitters.
Judge now finds himself in the longest RBI drought of his career as he's gone 10 contests without plating a run. This has happened to him three times previously, but he's never gone 11 games without driving in a run. A 4-for-31 stretch at the dish over the last eight games has driven his batting average down to .250. On Wednesday, Judge struck out four times, a night after he fanned three times against Blue Jays pitching. Overall he went 1-for-15 with eight strikeouts against Toronto.
