Aaron Judge Home Run Chase: How To Watch Yankees' Games Against Pirates, Red Sox
All eyes are on Aaron Judge now that he's on the verge of tying Roger Maris' record of 61 home runs in a season. Fans who don't get New York Yankees' games with their local TV package can still watch the superstar try to make history over the next several days.
Judge enters Wednesday night's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates with 60 home runs in the 2022 MLB season. ESPN+ will broadcast the contest at Yankee Stadium, which starts at 7:05 p.m. ET.
ESPN+ costs $9.99 per month or $99.99 for the year. The game will also be broadcast locally in both markets on the YES Network and AT&T SportsNet Pittsburgh.
The Yankees start a four-game series with the Boston Red Sox Thursday. Every game will be broadcast nationally.
Baseball fans can watch Judge and the Yankees host the Red Sox on Fox Thursday night at 7:15 p.m. ET. Apple TV+ will carry the sole broadcast of Friday night's game at 7:05 p.m. ET. The AL East rivals will be featured on the MLB Network Showcase at 1:05 p.m. ET Saturday. New York and Boston are scheduled to close out the four-game set on ESPN's "Sunday Night Baseball."
YES and NESN will carry Saturday's game locally.
Judge has hit three home runs in his last two games. His longest streak without a home run this season is nine consecutive games.
Since the All-Star Break, Judge has averaged a home run in every other game. It puts him on pace to tie Maris Thursday and break the record Saturday.
Maris holds the single-season record for an American League player. Judge is well off the pace of Barry Bonds' major-league record of 73 home runs, though the former San Francisco Giants star is suspected of having used performance-enhancing drugs.
Some baseball fans consider Maris to own the "clean" record because he wasn't accused of using PEDs.
