- New York Yankees slugger Aaron Judge is one home run away from breaking the American League record.
- Judge tied Roger Maris' long-standing record of 61 home runs in a season on September 28.
- The Yankees have seven games left this season; you can watch matchups on YES Network and MLB.TV.
The New York Yankees have already secured their place in the 2022 MLB Playoffs, but outfielder Aaron Judge is continuing his pursuit of the American League home run record set by Yankees legend Roger Maris in 1961. Judge tied Maris' mark of 61 home runs in a season on September 28, and the Yankees have seven games left as the regular season enters its final week.
Judge is also in the chase to become the AL's first triple-crown winner in a decade; Miguel Cabrera was the last batter to lead the American League in home runs, batting average, and RBIs in 2012. Before Cabrera, no hitter had achieved the triple crown since 1967. Judge is also considered a favorite for the American League's most valuable player award, alongside Angels star Shohei Ohtani.
Judge's next game against the Baltimore Orioles on September 30 will stream for free on MLB.TV, and will also be available via Amazon Prime Video, ESPN+, and the YES Network. All of Judge's at-bats during the game will be streamed on MLB.com as well.
The Yankees' home cable TV station, the YES Network, will carry all the remaining games in the teams local market, which includes New York and Connecticut, as well as parts of New Jersey and Pennsylvania. For those outside the region, MLB.TV will stream all of the Yankees games; a subscription costs $30 but the free seven-day trial for new members will cover the rest of the regular season.

How to stream Aaron Judge's home run chase
The easiest way to stream every moment of Aaron Judge's home run chase is to subscribe to MLB.tv. Judge's September 30 game will be free for all viewers, but it's unclear if the rest of the Yankees' regular season games will be free too.
MLB.tv costs $30 but the free seven-day trial for new members will cover all of Judge's remaining games. Unfortunately, MLB.tv will black out Judge's games for fans in the Yankees' home market of New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Pennsylvania.
Viewers within those states must subscribe to the YES Network via cable or another TV provider to watch Yankees games. If you don't have YES via cable, DirecTV Stream offers the YES Network with its $90 choice package; there's a five-day free trial period that will cover the remaining Yankees games from October 1 to October 5.
Other streaming options include ESPN+, which will stream three of the Yankees' final seven games, including the season finale against the Texas Rangers on October 5. ESPN+ costs $10 a month or $100 per year.
Amazon Prime Video will also air the Yankees game on September 30, the last of 21 pre-determined Yankees games that Prime Video chose to stream during the season. Prime Video costs $9 per month, but since the game is free on MLB.tv, we recommend watching there.
