Aaron Judge breaks power drought with big home run in Yankees’ win originally appeared on Athlon Sports. In Tuesday night’s 9–1 win over the Twins, the captain launched a first-inning solo shot to right-center. It was not only his first home run since coming off the injured list, but his first extra-base hit since returning.

The race for American League MVP for a while seemed like a foregone conclusion. Unless Yankees right fielder Aaron Judge suffered a significant injury, the award was likely his. Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh just won't go away, though, so what we're left with is a potentially amazing two-man race for the hardware.
