New York Yankees captain Aaron Judge is showing no signs of stopping. The reigning American League MVP made history in Saturday’s 11-7 defeat to the Athletics.

The two-time MVP smashed two home runs in the second game of the series. His second home run of the contest made it Aaron Judge’s 41st multi-home run game of his MLB career.

According to MLB’s Sarah Langs, the Yankees captain is the first player with 40+ multi-home run games in the first 1200 games of his career.

“Aaron Judge now has 41 career multi-HR games, 2 more than any other player in his first 1,200 games.

Judge (41) is fourth on the list of Yankees players with the most multi-HR games for the franchise. He trails iconic names like Babe Ruth (68), Mickey Mantle (46) and Lou Gehrig (43).

However, the Yankees captain’s historic night failed to take the Bronx Bombers to a win as the Athletics made a late comeback to tie the three-game series.
