Aaron Judge continues his impressive performance, hitting his 50th and 51st home runs of the season as the New York Yankees defeated the Colorado Rockies 10-3. This marks the third time in Judge's career that he has reached the 50-home run milestone in a season, joining an elite group of players including Babe Ruth, Mark McGwire, and Sammy Sosa who have achieved this feat multiple times. The Yankees showcased their power with back-to-back-to-back home runs from Juan Soto, Judge, and Giancarlo Stanton, marking the first time since September 2020 that the team has hit three consecutive home runs in a game. Gleyber Torres also contributed with a home run. Judge's performance solidifies his position as a leading figure in MLB, as he leads the league with 51 home runs, significantly ahead of other players. Stanton hit his 23rd homer of the season. The Yankees' victory over the Rockies improves their record as they continue to push for playoff contention.
