Aaron Judge wasted no time reminding the baseball world why he’s the reigning AL MVP, delivering a historic performance at the plate on Saturday.
The New York Yankees unleashed a relentless offensive barrage against the Milwaukee Brewers, lighting up former Yankee starter Nestor Cortes for eight earned runs in just two innings—a meltdown that quickly sparked a wave of hilarious memes. But the damage didn’t stop there. Milwaukee reliever Connor Thomas suffered an equally brutal fate, surrendering another eight runs over two innings, as the Yankees turned the game into a full-blown slugfest.
Judge’s Insane Power Surge in Just Four Innings
At the heart of the Yankees’ demolition job was Aaron Judge, who blasted three home runs in the game’s first four innings:
- 1st inning: A towering 468-foot blast off Cortes to deep left.
- 3rd inning: A grand slam, traveling 396 feet off Thomas.
- 4th inning: A 425-foot two-run shot, once again victimizing Thomas.
Judge almost added a fourth homer in the sixth inning, narrowly missing the right-field porch. Instead, he settled for an RBI double off Elvis Peguero, bringing the Yankees’ lead to 18-6.
Social Media Reactions: Complete Shock and Awe
Fans and analysts alike took to social media in absolute amazement at Judge’s early-season dominance. The internet exploded with reactions, marveling at his absurd display of power.
Judge’s 2025 Season Is Already Off to a Blazing Start
The six-time All-Star had already picked up an RBI double on Opening Day, and his monstrous performance on Saturday suggests that his MVP defense is already in full swing. While some questioned how the Yankees would provide protection for Judge in the lineup, the answer seems clear—when you’re a one-man wrecking crew, you don’t need much help.
