CHICAGO — One, potentially two, acts of baseball history became solidified Wednesday night.
First, the undisputed: Aaron Judge smashed his 62nd home run of the season to set the new American League record in the second game of a doubleheader Tuesday at the Rangers. He went 1-for-2 and and will have just Wednesday's regular-season finale to claim a Triple Crown.
That's where Luis Arraez comes in, as he currently leads the AL batting title race at .315 with Judge at .311. Arraez went 1-for-4 in the Twins' 8-3 loss Tuesday to the White Sox at Guaranteed Rate Field.
