5-2 loss to the Chicago Cubs<\/a>.<\/p>\nJudge homered to right-center on a high 0-2 fastball from Brad Keller, a two-run shot a couple of rows into the right-center field seats.<\/p>\n
He reached 350 in his 1,088th game. McGwire hit No. 350 in his 1,280th game, against Detroit\u2019s Brian Moehler on June 2, 1997, bettering Harmon Killebrew in his 1,319th game.<\/p>\n
\u201cBig Mac did a lot of great things in this game, and he\u2019s definitely a legend,\u201d Judge said.<\/p>\n
Judge, who turned 33 in April, debuted with the Yankees at age 24 in 2016. The two-time AL MVP also doubled twice and is hitting a major league-leading .358 with 35 homers and 81 RBIs.<\/p>\n
\u201cWould have been great if we got a win today,\u201d Judge said. \u201cI\u2019ve been surrounded by a lot of great teammates, been on some good teams, so they really put me in the best position to go out there and perform at my best.\u201d<\/p>\n
McGwire finished in 2001 at age 38 with 583 homers, currently 11th on the career list. He admitted in 2010 he used performance-enhancing drugs and has been denied entry to baseball\u2019s Hall of Fame.<\/p>\n
The Yankees captain has spoken with McGwire.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think it started with when I broke my first rib,\u201d Judge said. \u201cI think his son was kind of going through the same thing, so he was first asking me how did I heal? What do we do? So I kind of gave him some tips on that. And then we just kind of chit-chatted a little bit and kept in contact.\u201d<\/p>\n
