Aaron Judge is without any doubt, one of the most extraordinary baseball players of recent times. Right from the moment he debuted for the New York Yankees in 2016, Judge has demonstrated the tremendous power he is capable of unleashing when making contact with the ball and rack up runs for the Bronx organization . On Saturday, he made it clear that he is still in an golden moment and helped his team beat the San Diego Padres again.

After the extraordinary game that the Manhattan Mules gave in the first of the series (8-0), there was a home run fiesta with Judge, Juan Soto, Giancarlo Stanton and Gleyber Torres all getting involved - the second confrontation at Petco Park was once again for the New York franchise with a score of 4-1 and the captain was the main protagonist.

In the first inning the ‘99′ of the Bronx Bombers hit a home run through right field and beat Anthony Volpe to advance Aaron Boone’s men (2-0). After that, in the fourth inning El Juez hit a double and in doing so, reached 900 hits in the Major Leagues. Later Anthony Rizzo sent him to the register for 3-0.

Aaron Judge, the first player to hit 11 doubles and 12 homers in 20 straight games

The last run came with a sacrifice fly by Gleyber Torres, but the most important thing about the game was that Aaron Judge became the first player in the history of Major League Baseball in having more than 12 doubles and more than 11 home runs in 20 consecutive games. Likewise, in his last 13 games, he has a .455 AVG, a .569 OBP, he has a slugging percentage of 1.182, he has contributed 8 HR, 8 RB and 14 RBI.

Yankees are on in MLB 2024

The Yankees squad is in an impressive moment, since in their most recent series against the Seattle Mariners they managed to react to leave everything tied (2-2) and now they have already won their expedition to Californian territory against the Padres. The New Yorkers remain the best organization in the American League and command the East (37V-17D).

One more fact is that from Judge’s record in the most recent 13 games, the Bronx Bombers can boast 11 victories. Finally, the work that their pitchers are doing from the mound is fundamental and at the same time striking due to the fact that they do not have Gerrit Cole in their rotation.

On Sunday they will seek to continue their run against the San Diego Padres at Petco Park. Clarke Schmidt and Joe Musgrove are expected to be the starting pitchers in the game which gets underway at 4:10 p.m. EDT.
