"New York Yankees captain Aaron Judge wasted no time moving past another all-time great on the team's career home run list on Thursday. Just two days after passing Hall of Fame catcher Yogi Berra for fifth place on the franchise list, Judge hit home runs in his first two at-bats against the Detroit Tigers on Thursday to tie another Hall of Famer, Joe DiMaggio, for fourth with 361 career home runs."
"With President Donald Trump in attendance to mark the 24-year anniversary of 9/11 on Thursday, the two-time MVP got the Yankees on the board with a 413-foot blast to left-center field off Tyler Holton for his 18th home run in the first inning this season, which ties a major league record set by himself (2024) and Alex Rodriguez (2001). It also was the fourth time in a season that he's reached 45th home runs in a season, which is tied with Gehrig for second-most."
"It didn't take Judge long to hit No. 46 and tie DiMaggio. In the third inning, Judge hammered a 434-foot shot -- also to left-center field with an exit velocity of 114.9 mph --on a 1-0 fastball from Sawyer Gipson-Long to give the Yankees a 4-1 lead. Judge tied DiMaggio in his 1,129th regular-season game and has nine homers in 33 contests since returning from the injured list last month."
