Aaron Judge Hits 3 HRs in 4 Innings, Yankees Set Franchise Record with 9 vs. Brewers

Aaron Judge and the rest of the New York Yankees' lineup couldn't be stopped on Saturday.

Judge hit three home runs through four innings against the Milwaukee Brewers, as the Yankees ran away with a 20-9 win to improve to 2-0 on the season.

New York racked up nine total homers, setting a new franchise record. That included a stretch of solo home runs on three consecutive pitches to open the bottom of the first inning.

Judge recorded his third career game with three home runs, sitting at No. 2 on the Yankees' all-time leaderboard. Only Lou Gehrig (four) has more, according to MLB.com's Sarah Langs.

Anthony Volpe, Austin Wells, Cody Bellinger, Paul Goldschmidt, Jazz Chisholm Jr. and Oswald Peraza were responsible for the other six homers by the Bronx Bombers.

Wells and Volpe added onto their early 2025 home run totals, as they both homered in the Yankees' 4-2 victory over the Brewers on Thursday.

New York scored at least three runs in each of the first four innings of Saturday's game. It was able to jump out to a large lead despite dealing with some defensive issues, committing five errors through four frames.

The production from Bellinger and Goldschmidt is an especially promising sign for a Yankees team looking to defend its AL pennant, as both players are entering their first season with the club.

Led by Judge, New York's power-hitting lineup has been a key reason for its recent success. The Yankees have led the majors in home runs during two of the past three seasons.

There was some concern regarding the production from Judge and New York following the free-agency departure of Juan Soto, who hit 41 home runs during his lone season with the team in 2024.

The Yankees' lineup hasn't shown any signs of slowing down at the beginning of their 2025 campaign, though.
