New York Yankees<\/a> captain Aaron Judge<\/a> wasted no time moving past another all-time great on the team’s career home run list Thursday.<\/p>\n

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<\/a> on Thursday to tie another Hall of Famer, Joe DiMaggio, for fourth with 361 career home runs.<\/p>\n

Hall of Famers Babe Ruth (659 homers), Mickey Mantle (536) and Lou Gehrig (493) are ahead of Judge on the Yankees’ career homers list.<\/p>\n

With President Donald Trump in attendance<\/a> 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<\/a> 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).<\/p>\n

Judge reached 45 home runs in a season for the fourth time, which is tied with Gehrig for the second most in Yankees history behind Ruth (nine).<\/p>\n

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<\/a> to give the Yankees a 4-1 lead.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

It was the 45th career multi-home run game for Judge, which ranks third in Yankees history behind Ruth (68) and Mantle (46).<\/p>\n

Holton and Gipson-Long became the 272nd and 273rd pitchers to allow a homer to Judge, who has six multihomer games this season.<\/p>\n
