Aaron Judge hit his 34th home run of the season Saturday to become the first player in New York Yankees history to reach the milestone before the All-Star break.

The homer helped lift the New York Yankees to a 6-1 victory over the Baltimore Orioles at Camden Yards.

Judge's 34 homers surpassed the previous Yankees standard of 33 home runs, set by Roger Maris in 1961 and matched by Judge himself in 2022, for the most before the break in franchise history.

The total also ranked Judge among some of MLB's all-time greats:

He is now on pace to hit 56 home runs by the end of the season, and some fans believe the final number could be even higher.
