Aaron Judge made history by hitting his 50th and 51st home runs in a single game, leading the New York Yankees to a 10-3 victory over the Colorado Rockies. With these achievements, Judge became the fifth player in MLB history to record three seasons with 50 home runs, joining legends like Babe Ruth and Mark McGwire. He reached the 50-home run milestone in the Yankees' 131st game, a slight delay compared to his 129th game two years ago when he set the AL record with 62 home runs.
