Aaron Judge has zoomed on past “Joltin’ Joe.”
The Yankees slugger swatted the 362nd home run of his career against the Red Sox in the first inning on Friday night at Fenway Park, passing franchise icon Joe DiMaggio for fourth on the all-time list.
No. 362 was no cheap shot, as Judge mashed it 442 feet — well over the famed Green Monster — to left field.
Judge hit a pair of long balls on Thursday in a 9-3 win over the Tigers to move into a tie with DiMaggio, minutes after shaking President Donald Trump’s hand during a clubhouse visit at Yankee Stadium.
That came two days after he sent deep in Detroit to pass longtime Yankees catcher Yogi Berra on the list with the 359th dinger.
Judge now trails only Babe Ruth (659), Mickey Mantle (536) and Lou Gehrig (493) in the Bombers’ record book.
Entering Friday’s game, the 33-year-old was slashing an MLB-best line .322/.443/.669 with 46 homers, 100 RBI and AL-leading totals of 118 runs and 100 walks.
