Judge, 34, launched a 2-0 bomb to right-center off starting pitcher Nathan Eovaldi, cutting into the Rangers' lead in the bottom of the sixth.
Chicago White Sox sensation Munetaka Murakami has been back and forth with Judge this season. Now, he sits in second with 14 home runs, and Atlanta's Matt Olson in third with 13.
Judge finished the 2025 season with the fourth-most home runs (53) in the entire league. Should he finish this season with at least 50 home runs, he will become the first player to hit that many in three straight seasons since Chicago Cubs legend Sammy Sosa put up 50 in four straight (1998-2001).
Judge is already in Sosa's company, along with the icon Babe Ruth and power-hitting legend Mark McGwire, as the only players in MLB history to record at least 50 home runs in four seasons.
If Judge reaches 50 again, he will become the first player in MLB history ever to hit 50+ homers in five separate seasons.
The New York Yankees currently have the best record in the American League at 25-11 heading into Wednesday, and the second-best in baseball behind the Braves (26-12).
