The new bash brothers, Aaron Judge and Juan Soto were at it again on Wednesday and are now approaching a monumental MLB feat.
Judge and Soto combined for three home runs while knocking in all of the New York Yankees runs in an 8-1 victory over the Cleveland Guardians on Wednesday.
Following another spectacular outing, the dynamic duo edged even closer to becoming only the third pair of teammates to surpass 40 homers and 100 RBI in the same season.
With 35 regular season games remaining, Judge, who went deep twice against the Guardians, has reached both marks, ending the night with 47 homers and 117 RBI.
Meanwhile, after homering and knocking in five runs against Cleveland, Soto is only seven RBI (93) short and four away in long balls (36).
While one historic achievement looms, Judge and Soto have already etched their names into the baseball record books forever, with perhaps even more to come.
The pair have recorded at least 103 walks, 93 RBI, 36 home runs and five stolen bases. They’re only the second set of teammates to post those numbers in the same season, alongside Yankees legends and baseball Hall of Famers Lou Gehrig and Babe Ruth, who did it twice, in 1931 and 1927, per Stathead.
Likewise, on Tuesday, the pair posted back-to-back home runs for the fifth time, tied for the second most in Yankees history. They’re only one away from tying the single-season franchise mark held by Johnny Damon and Mark Teixeira (2009).
There’s no telling how Judge and Soto will cap off their incredible 2024 campaigns. However, even if the season ended now, they’d already be considered one of the most dangerous offensive tandems baseball has ever seen.
