The Yankees took to social media to celebrate the historic blast, adding a message of encouragement for their star first baseman.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Yankees Celebrate Aaron Judge<\/h2>\n<p>Shortly after Judge\u2019s home run, the Yankees shared a graphic denoting the milestone home run.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll rise,\u201d the team shared in the caption.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/os\/en\/athlon_sports_articles_610\/4dce1e2b1225dba318fc43096699b51f\" alt=\"Yankees Send Aaron Judge Message After Big Announcement - Yahoo Sports\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The home run helped provide the margin of victory as the Yankees prevailed 5-4 against the Angels. Though the Yankees have struggled, Judge is heating up and blasted three home runs in the series against the Angels.<\/p>\n<p>Judge now ranks No. 81 on the all-time home run list, one behind Carlton Fisk. He has a chance to reach into the high 50s by the end of the season.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>\u00a0Aaron Judge, Mike Trout Showcase Power<\/h2>\n<p>This week\u2019s series has been a showcase of two of the MLB\u2019s best power hitters, with Judge and Angels star Mike Trout going shot-for-shot. Each player homered twice in a wild game on Monday, with the Yankees prevailing 11-10.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat part certainly delivered,\u201d manager Aaron Boone said, via the New York Post.<\/p>\n<p>Judge had plenty of praise for his counterpart after the game.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s the greatest of all time,\u201d Judge said of Trout. \u201cComing up at such a young age, he\u2019s special. He\u2019s had to battle injuries, but he\u2019s in a better spot now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Trout also acknowledged the wild game between the teams, even though his team came up short.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was definitely one of the better games,\u201d Trout said. \u201cIt was fun to be a part of, [but] the loss is disappointing. \u2026 To throw blows like that, both teams, pretty cool.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Judge set another record in this game, tying Yankees great Mickey Mantle with the 47th multi-homer game of his career on Monday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s special,\u2019\u2019 Judge said. \u201cI\u2019m glad it came in a win. Hopefully, we can keep going.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Judge helped pull the Yankees out of a five-game losing streak, saying the team had lost some of their patience at the plate.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re trying to hit every single pitch we see up there and kind of getting ourselves in some bad counts and bad situations,\u201d Judge said of the losing streak, via NJ.com\u2019s Randy MIller. \u201cI think as a group if we simplify some things, simplify our approach a little bit, hunt the pitch that we\u2019re looking for and kind of pass the baton, we\u2019ll get a better spot.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Judge also admitted that he grew a bit worried by the early season slump, but said the team needs to buckle down and focus.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYeah, we\u2019ve lost some games, so I\u2019m concerned about that,\u201d Judge said. \u201cI\u2019m not gonna sit here and talk about all the things that concern me.
