Adam Glanzman/Getty Images(BOSTON) — New York Yankees right fielder Aaron Judge has struck out in his 36th consecutive game, setting the record for the longest strikeout streak in a single season by any player.
Boston Red Sox’ Chris Sale struck out Judge in the top of the fifth inning Saturday.
The record for consecutive games with a strikeout by a postion player was set on Thursday by Judge.
Montreal Expos pitcher Bill Stoneman held the previous record by any player in 1971.
Judge is now 0-for-9 with seven strikeouts against Sale in his career — his most at-bats against any pitcher without a hit.
