NEW YORK – The "Juan Soto and Aaron Judge Show" is once again a nightly event.

For the second consecutive game, the Yankees superstars connected for home runs, helping to boost their club to an 8-1 victory over the Guardians at Yankee Stadium. Soto and Judge have now homered in the same game 11 times; the Yanks are 9-2 in those contests.

Soto opened the scoring with his second first-inning homer in as many contests, belting a two-run shot off Joey Cantillo for his 36th long ball of the season, establishing a new career high. Soto has hit eight homers in his last nine games (since Aug. 11).

Judge cleared the fences in the third inning for his 46th home run, a two-run blast off Cantillo.

In the seventh inning, he went to the opposite field with his Major League-leading 47th homer, a solo shot off right-hander Eli Morgan. It was Judge’s sixth homer in his last nine games (since Aug. 11) and his 12th in 23 games (since July 26).

The Yankees captain, who established an American League record with 62 homers in 2022, is on pace to hit 60 homers this season.
