MLB history made by Yankees, Phillies stars as Players of the Month

New York Yankees star Aaron Judge and Philadelphia Phillies star Bryce Harper made some history in MLB for the month of June.

After both stars were named the respective American and National League Players of the Month in May, they followed that up by earning the award for the second consecutive month in June.

Since the awards were given in both leagues beginning in 1974, this is the first time the American League and National League winners both repeated in the same month together.

Judge continued his incredible season with another extraordinary month. His .409 batting average, 11 home runs, 37 RBI and 1.378 OPS led all MLB players.

Meanwhile, Harper hit .374 with seven home runs, 16 RBI and a 1.166 OPS in 23 games before hitting the 10-day injured list due to a hamstring injury.

Both Harper and Judge were named starters in the 2024 MLB All-Star Game.
