Watch: Judge reclaims MLB lead with 17th HR of season

Hand Aaron Judge a gavel because he keeps laying down the law.

The New York Yankees rookie - one of baseball's hottest hitters - hammered his MLB-leading 17th home run of the season against the Baltimore Orioles on Monday, breaking a tie with Mike Trout.

Through 48 games, Judge has more home runs (17) than Roger Maris did after the same amount of games in 1961 (16). Maris went on to hit 61 long balls that season, which held up as the single-season record for 37 years.
