Aaron Judge hit his 300th career home run this week becoming the fastest player to that mark. In fact, he broke two marks, hitting 300 home runs in the fewest games and the fewest at-bats. Who held the records before him (hint: it was not the same player).

Another Blake Snell start, another record.
Today, Snell struck out ten batters for a total 55 strikeouts in his last five starts...a San Francisco Giants record by one.
Who held the former record of 54 strikeouts in five consecutive starts?

1 Ron Bryant
1 Cliff Melton
1 Dummy Taylor
1 Ferdie Schupp
1 Fred Toney
