Aaron Judge's 469-Foot Homer Lifts Yankees

Aaron Judge delivered a spectacular performance for the New York Yankees by smashing a 469-foot, two-run home run in the first inning against the Kansas City Royals, marking the third-longest homer in MLB this season and the seventh-longest of his career. The home run, which landed atop the Royals Hall of Fame building, came off rookie Noah Cameron, who had previously not allowed more than one run in any of his major league starts. Judge now has 24 home runs and continues to lead the majors in batting average and OPS, reaching base safely in 61 of 65 games. The Yankees routed the Royals 10-2, with Austin Wells contributing a three-run homer and five RBIs. This dominant win helped New York bounce back after two losses and furthered Judge’s MVP case. Fans and analysts praised Judge’s continued power and consistency.
