The seventh fastest to 350 home runs is by Giancarlo Stanton. (0:33)
The New York Yankees defeated the Baltimore Orioles 5-2 on Wednesday night, as New York's Giancarlo Stanton became the seventh-fastest player to reach 350 career home runs.
In 1,341 games, he reached the milestone. Babe Ruth, Albert Pujols, Alex Rodriguez, Juan Gonzalez, and Mark McGwire were the only players to hit 350 homers faster. Rodriguez and Ruth were the other two players to reach the milestone with the Yankees.
I didn't know what to expect or how long I would be around. It's cool for me.
The home run by Stanton was his first in 14 games. He had four hits in his previous 31 at-bats.
| Player | Games |
|---|---|
| Mark McGwire | 1,280 |
| Juan Gonzalez | 1,298 |
| Alex Rodriguez | 1,301 |
| Harmon Killebrew | 1,319 |
| Albert Pujols | 1,320 |
| Babe Ruth | 1,329 |
| Giancarlo Stanton | 1,341 |
After getting Sunday off, he had two hits in Tuesday's 12-8 win. He had his first two hits of the season in the eighth and ninth.
I thought he had a really good night last night and I just thought he carried that over tonight.
Judge, who scored on the home run, added: "Oh wow, congrats to him for 350." He is a baller. He shows up ready to work.
The Yankees won their fifth straight and seventh in eight games with the help of a sacrifice fly by Stanton.
He signed a bat and was working on a swap to get the ball back from the fan who retrieved it in the right field seats.
Part of the exchange is being worked on.
