Did the president's energy lead to a home run.

New York Yankees home run hitter Aaron Judge is getting close to Yankees legends. He crossed Yogi Vera two days ago and this time stood shoulder to shoulder with Joe DiMaggio.

Judge hit back-to-back home runs against the Detroit Tigers at Yankee Stadium on the 12th (Korea time). Judge, who hit his 45th and 46th home runs of the season, made history with his 361st career home run.




Judge, who started as the second right fielder on the day, hit a solo shot from Detroit starter Tyler Holton in the bottom of the first inning. In the full count, he hit a 91.3-mile (about 147km) cutter that came down the middle of the sixth pitch and crossed the middle fence. He hit again in his second at-bat in the bottom of the third inning with a distance of 126 meters. This time, in the match against Sawyer Gibson-Long, he kicked a 90.7-mile (about 146km) fastball that came toward his body from 1B, which also became a solo shot over the fence in the middle. It's a 4-1 home run and a consecutive at-bats home run.

Judge, who recorded his 359th career home run with his 44th home run of the season against Detroit on the 10th, overtook Yogi Vera to rank fifth in the Yankees' career home run rankings, and this time tied Joe DiMaggio with his 361st.

If he hits one more home run, he will be the lone fourth behind DiMaggio. The Yankees' most home runs ranking is 659 for Babe Ruth, 536 for Mickey Mantle, and 493 for Lou Gehrig. We still have to hit more home runs to get to Lou Gehrig.




With his multi-homer game of the day, Judge hit his 45th multi-homer game. This is also the third time after Babe Ruth's 68th and Mickey Mantle's 46th, approaching Mantle's record for the first time. Judge met with U.S. President Donald Trump at the locker room before the game, shaking hands and greeting him.

Giancarlo Standen also fired a solo shot on the same day, and the Yankees beat Detroit 9-4.
