Aaron Judge Blasts 36th Homer, Ties Alex Rodriguez for Sixth on Yankees' All-Time Home Run List in Win Over Braves

Aaron Judge launched his 36th home run of the season on Sunday, a 409-foot solo shot off Grant Holmes with an exit velocity of 110.2 mph, which helped secure the Yankees' 4-2 victory over the Braves. This significant blast marked his 351st career round-tripper, moving him into a tie with Alex Rodriguez for sixth place on the Yankees' all-time franchise home run list, trailing only legendary figures like Babe Ruth, Mickey Mantle, Lou Gehrig, Joe DiMaggio, and Yogi Berra. Judge expressed profound honor at matching a player he admired growing up, calling Rodriguez a 'legend' and 'one of the best ever players.' He continues his stellar 2025 campaign, maintaining an impressive .354/.459/.729 slash line with 82 RBI, which strengthens his position as a leading American League MVP and Triple Crown contender. Judge, who is now two homers behind MLB leader Cal Raleigh, also walked and scored two runs in the game, marking his eighth home run in his last 17 games as the Yankees look ahead to a series against the Blue Jays in Toronto.
