New York Yankees captain Aaron Judge hit his 362nd career home run on Friday night, surpassing Hall of Famer Joe DiMaggio for fourth place on the franchise's all-time list. The milestone occurred during the first inning against the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park, where Judge launched a 468-foot solo shot over the Green Monster off pitcher Lucas Giolito.
Judge reached this mark in his 1,130th game, while DiMaggio achieved 361 homers over 1,736 games. The Yankees secured a 4-1 victory, extending their lead over the Red Sox in the AL East to 1.5 games.
Reflecting on the achievement, Judge stated, "Just two legends, greats of the game, great all-time Yankees. It's pretty cool being on a list with them, but I think it's even cooler getting a win."
With this home run, Judge now trails only Babe Ruth (659), Mickey Mantle (536), and Lou Gehrig (493) on the Yankees' career home run list.
