In an away game Tuesday night, Judge broke an American League record by hitting his 61st home run of his career, but still left him nine home runs shy of the all-time MLB record set by Barry Bonds in 2001.

Bonds is one of three players who have hit more home runs than Judge in a single season, along with Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa, all of whom have tested positive for performance enhancing drugs.

Judge leads the league with 62 home runs and 131 runs batted in, while his.311 average is second best to Minnesota Twins first baseman Luis Arraez, leaving him just shy of the American League's triple crown award.

Yankees ticket prices have gone up over the past two weeks as fans try to watch Judge hit his record-breaking home run, jumping to $252 late last month for the last seven home games of the season, according to data from sales platform TicketiQ. Outfield tickets to the Yankees-Rangers games in Arlington, Texas, ranged from $16 to $941 for seats in left field, where right-handed batters like Judge pull home runs. StubHub has tickets to Wednesday's game up to $4,860. The Rangers have the fourth worst record in the American League, and rank eighth out of 15 teams in attendance, with just over 24,500 fans per game.
