New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge became the fifth player in MLB history to record three seasons of at least 50 home runs after belting a two-run blast against the Colorado Rockies in the first inning Sunday.
Judge, who has seven homers in his last six games, collected his 18th first-inning long ball of the season to tie a major-league record set by Alex Rodriguez in 2001.
The 32-year-old is on pace to hit a career-high 63 round-trippers after swatting another one in the seventh inning versus the Rockies.
Judge took a curtain call for Yankees fans following the two-homer performance.
