Babe Ruth’s 60-home run streak in a season, first set in 1927, has been broken for a time since Roger Maris in 1961.

“I didn’t care about the number of home runs. When I was young, I never imagined that I would be compared to the great-great-grandmother of the Yankees, Ruth Maris, who is honored huge.”

Meanwhile, the Yankees, starting with Jersey’s solo shot and Stanton’s final home run, won a thrilling 9-8 comeback, keeping their lead firmly in the area.
