Yankees slugger Aaron Judge hit his 50th and 51st home runs of the season Sunday in a 10-3 win over the Colorado Rockies, putting him on pace to break his own American League home run record. Home run No. 50 came off a 0-2 changeup from Austin Gomber in the first inning; it was Judge's 18th homer in the first inning this season, matching Alex Rodriguez (2001) for the major league record. Judge hit No. 51 in the seventh inning, following a solo homer from Juan Soto. Giancarlo Stanton homered in the next at-bat as the sluggers went back-to-back-to-back to give New York a 7-3 lead. Judge, who flew out in the second and walked in the fifth, took a curtain call after his second home run. "I didn't want to come out until [manager Aaron Boone] told me," Judge said. "He kind of gave me the look and the nod, so I went out there. The fans are pumped up. We kind of hit a lull there in the game.
