Yankees' Aaron Judge: Powers Yankees with pair of homers
Rotowire
Judge went 2-for-5 with two home runs and three RBI in Monday's win over the Angels.
Judge set the tone early by taking Yusei Kikuchi deep for a 456-foot shot as the second batter of the game, giving the Yankees an immediate lead. He later broke a tie in the sixth with a solo homer, giving him six long balls on the season. It was his first multi-homer game of 2026 and the 47th of his career. After a slower start to the season, Judge has been locked in recently, batting 11-for-36 (.306) with three homers, 11 RBI and 12 runs scored over his last 10 games.
Judge went 1-for-3 with a walk, two runs scored and a two-run home run in Sunday's 5-4 loss to the Rays.
Aside from a ninth-inning home run to cut a three-run deficit down to just one, it was a relatively nondescript game for Judge. The home run was the third of the season for the Yankees slugger, who is off to a slower start than usual this season. The 33-year-old has seven RBI and is slashing just .218/.328/.455 on the young campaign. The homer snapped a streak of seven straight games without one for Judge.
Judge went 2-for-3 with a walk, a home run, two runs scored, three RBI and a stolen base in Friday's 8-2 win over the Marlins.
The Yankees' captain got the offense rolling with a two-run shot off Eury Perez in the first inning. The homer was Judge's third of the season while the steal was his first, but through seven games he's still batting just .185 (5-for-27) with a 2:12 BB:K.
Judge went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run during the Yankees' 3-0 win over the Giants on Friday.
Judge's 2026 campaign got off to a horrid start Wednesday, when he struck out four times in five plate appearances. He struck out another two times Friday, but the three-time AL MVP gave the Yankees the lead for good in the sixth inning, when he belted a two-run home run off Robbie Ray. Judge has won AL MVP honors in each of the last two seasons, and he's looking to become the fourth player in MLB history to hit 50 or more home runs in three consecutive seasons.
