Aaron Judge hit his 60th home run Tuesday night, matching Babe Ruth and moving within one of Roger Maris’ American League season record.

The New York Yankees slugger drove a 3-1 sinker from Pittsburgh’s Wil Crowe 430 feet to the left field seats leading off the ninth inning. Judge’s third home run in two games and ninth in September thrilled a screaming crowd at Yankee Stadium.

Judge’s homer cut the Yankees’ deficit to 8-5. The Yankees then loaded the bases and Giancarlo Stanton won it 9-8 with a grand slam.

Judge equaled Ruth’s total for the 1927 Yankees and has 15 games remaining to match and surpass Maris’ total for New York in 1961.

He leads the major leagues with 128 RBIs.

ASTROS 5, RAys 0 >> Tampa Bay ace Shane McClanahan was pulled in the fifth inning with neck tightness during a loss to visiting Houston.

McClanahan walked four and allowed five hits while throwing 80 pitches.

Peña hit a three-run homer, Altuve scored three runs and the Astros won for the ninth time in 10 games a day after clinching the AL West championship.
