The New York Yankees possessed one of the most powerful and feared trio of hitters this 2024 MLB season as Aaron Judge, Juan Soto, and Giancarlo Stanton teamed up. However, the trio never appeared on the same page in terms of offensive form. Everyone had their ups and downs at some point.
That inconsistency restricted the New York Yankees from unleashing its complete offensive potential until this Sunday. The trio of Aaron Judge, Juan Soto and Giancarlo Stanton blasted on the plate during the series finale against the Colorado Rockies, thus recreating special franchise history in the process.
Juan Soto, Aaron Judge, Giancarlo Stanton Lits Up Yankee Stadium With Back-To-Back Home Runs!
The New York Yankees’ formidable trio of Aaron Judge, Juan Soto, and Giancarlo Stanton made headlines once again, captivating baseball fans with a historic display of power. During the series finale against the Rockies held at the Yankee Stadium on Sunday, Judge initially gained the limelight with his 50th season home run in the first innings. However, the lead was reduced to 4-3 as Rockies fought back against Marcus Stroman. With the rubber game hanging in the balance, Juan Soto led the charge with a barrel hit off the first pitch thrown by reliever Jeff Criswell in the seventh inning. The solo home run traveled through the right field as Soto was awarded his 37th-season home run.
Meanwhile, Aaron Judge followed in Juan Soto’s footsteps immediately to slam a solo home run off the very next pitch against Criswell. Before the fans could wrap their heads around the multi-homer inning, Giancarlo Stanton smoked a solo shot deep into the netting above Monument Park to register the third back-to-back home run for the New York Yankees, with the lead soaring to 7-3. Later, Gleyber Torres scored a massive three-run homer to wrap up the game with a 10-3 winning scoreline. That being said, the sequence was a rare and thrilling display of power. This is the first time since 2020 that Yankee hitters went back-to-back to score three home runs on the trot. Overall, the combination of Judge, Soto, and Stanton in the lineup creates a nightmare scenario for opposing pitchers. And if this trio can stay consistent, the Yanks’ championship aspirations look increasingly attainable.
Aaron Judge Leaves Yankees Skipper Speechless
New York Yankees captain Aaron Judge is now on pace to surpass his single-season home run record by finishing with a total of 63 home runs by the end of the 2024 season. He scored his 50th and 51st long hit against the Rockies on Sunday to become the only fifth player in MLB to score 50 or more homers in three seasons.
Needless to say, the New York Yankees skipper Aaron Boone is extremely flabbergasted by Aaron Judge’s form. “We’re all running out of superlatives to what we’re seeing, especially in this time where hitting’s difficult,” Boone said. He is grateful to watch Judge script history on a daily basis and urges the fans not to take his moment for granted.
