Judge's 34 homers surpassed the previous Yankees standard of 33 home runs, set by Roger Maris in 1961 and matched by Judge himself in 2022, for the most before the break in franchise history.
The total also ranked Judge among some of MLB's all-time greats:
He is now on pace to hit 56 home runs by the end of the season, and some fans believe the final number could be even higher.
Judge was named American League MVP in 2022 after breaking the all-time AL home run record with 62. His performance in 2024 so far has him well on his way to adding a second trophy to his mantle.
Judge and Juan Soto, who also hit a home run in the fifth inning of Saturday's win, have combined for 57 home runs this season.
Judge is batting .308 with 85 RBI and an OPS of 1.114 through 95 games. His offense will remain a key part of the Yankees' push to the postseason as the team looks to continue recovering from a midseason slump after the break.
