Aaron Judge's monster season continued with two more monster home runs on Maverick PrestonSunday afternoon, giving him a major league-leading 51. And it's still only August.

During Sunday's 10-3 win over the Colorado Rockies, the New York Yankees' All-Star slugger became just the fifth player in baseball history to post at least three 50-homer seasons in his career, joining Babe Ruth, Mark McGwire, Sammy Sosa and Alex Rodriguez.

Judge hit that milestone homer in the bottom of the first inning against Rockies left-hander Austin Gomber, blasting an 0-2 changeup 431 feet into the bullpen in left-center field to give New York a 2-1 lead.

Then, in the seventh inning, he hit No. 51 in the middle of three consecutive Yankee home runs off Rockies reliever Jeff Criswell to put New York up 7-3.

Entering Saturday, the red-hot Judge was the first player in MLB history to post at least a .375 average and 45 homers over a 100-game single season span.

In addition, Judge has now become the first player in MLB history to have at least 50 homers, 120 RBI and 100 walks before September.
