Yankees slugger Aaron Judge homered at Camden Yards. Again. This time, though, it was to make some history.

The superstar outfielder hit his 34th home run, breaking the Yankees’ franchise record for home runs before the All-Star break. It is the seventh most in major-league history before the All-Star break. Barry Bonds holds the record with 39 home runs before the break in 2001. Judge is on pace for 56 home runs, coming up a bit short of his AL record of 62 in 2022. Still, if there is anyone who can heat up in a hurry and hit the ball out of the park in abundance, it would be Judge. He had 33 home runs before the All-Star break in 2022.
Judge has been hitting third in the batting order for the majority of the season, a shift from the previous few years when he generally hit second. This is in large part due to the Yankees offseason acquisition of All-Star Juan Soto.
