Judge went 2-for-4 with a pair of home runs, three RBI and a walk in Sunday's 10-3 win over the Rockies.
EDGE Analysis
Judge's recent power binge is impressive by even his standards -- he's gone deep 10 times over his last 13 contests. In that span, he's batting .426 (20-for-47) with 17 RBI and 13 runs scored. With Sunday's impressive effort, Judge is up to 51 homers this year, crossing the half-century mark for the third time in his career. He's added a magnificent .333/.465/.736 slash line, an MLB-best 122 RBI, 104 runs scored, 30 doubles and six stolen bases over 129 contests.

Judge went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Friday in a 3-0 win against Colorado.
EDGE Analysis
Judge went deep off Kyle Freeland in the sixth inning to extend his streak of games with at least one long ball to four. The slugger is now one homer shy of reaching 50 for the third time in his career -- he'll be the fifth player in MLB history to accomplish that feat, joining Babe Ruth, Mark McGwire, Sammy Sosa and Alex Rodriguez. Judge is on pace for 62 home runs this season, which would tie the AL record he established in 2022.

Judge went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, an additional run and a walk Thursday in a 6-0 win against the Guardians.
EDGE Analysis
Judge kicked off the scoring for New York with a solo blast in the fourth frame. He's gone deep four times in his past three contests and seven times over his past 10 games to push his total to 48 home runs on the season. As a testament to the slugger's ferocity at the plate, Cleveland walked him with one out and the runners on the corners in the fifth inning, electing to load the bases rather than give him a chance to hit despite being down 1-0 at the time. That type of treatment could become even more common down the stretch as opponents look to cement playoff berths and postseason positioning. As it is, Judge ranks second in MLB with 104 walks -- including a league-leading 16 free passes -- on the season.

Judge went 2-for-3 with two home runs and three RBI in Wednesday's 8-1 win over the Guardians.
EDGE Analysis
The AL MVP candidate launched a two-run homer off Joey Cantillo in the third inning before adding a solo shot off Eli Morgan in the seventh. Judge is surging again, going yard six times in the last nine games while slashing an absurd .471/.561/1.118 with 12 RBI, and with 47 long balls through 125 games on the season, he's on pace to reach 60 homers for the second time in his career.

Judge went 2-for-5 with a home run, a double, a walk and three RBI in Tuesday's 9-5 extra-innings loss to the Guardians.
EDGE Analysis
Judge went back-to-back with Juan Soto off Matthew Boyd in the first inning and then added a two-run double in the 12th frame. The 32-year-old continues to crush the ball in August, hitting safely in nine of his past 10 games with six multi-hit efforts and four home runs. He extended his league lead in long balls over Shohei Ohtani to six and owns a .332 average, 114 RBI and 97 runs scored across 556 plate appearances.

Judge went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a 3-0 win against Detroit on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Judge capped the scoring in the contest with a solo shot to center field in the eighth inning. The slugger has gone deep in consecutive contests and in three of his past five games, and he's slashing an absurd .556/.652/1.167 during the latter span. Judge's 2024 resume includes a league-leading 44 home runs , 111 RBI and 1.175 OPS. Among qualified MLB hitters, only Bobby Witt (.352) has a higher batting average than Judge's .333 mark.

Judge went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run, a double, a walk and two total runs scored in Wednesday's 10-2 win over the White Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Judge slugged his 300th career homer when he went deep in the eighth inning. He became the fastest player in major-league history to reach the 300-homer mark, doing so in his 955th game to easily surpass Ralph Kiner (1,087 games) to that milestone mark. Judge is batting .500 (20-for-40) with four homers over 12 games in August, lifting his slash line to a stellar .333/.467/.707 with 43 long balls, 110 RBI, 95 runs scored, six stolen bases, 28 doubles and a triple through 120 contests.

Judge went 3-for-3 with a home run, a walk, two total runs and a stolen base Sunday in an 8-7 victory versus Texas.
EDGE Analysis
Judge's seventh-inning solo shot proved to be the difference-maker as a late Texas rally ended up falling one run shy of sending the game into an extra frame. The slugger is up to 42 long balls on the season, most in MLB. He's on pace to finish the campaign with 57 home runs, which would be tied for the seventh-most in American League history for a single season.

Judge went 3-for-7 with a double, two walks, three runs and an RBI across both games of Saturday's doubleheader split with Texas.
EDGE Analysis
Judge did most of his damage in Game 1, collecting three hits and an RBI in the victory. The slugger is in what for him could be considered a power drought with no homers over his past six contests, though he's batting .368 and has walked eight times during that span. Judge leads the majors with 97 free passes as opponents have increasingly tried to pitch around him given his MLB-leading 41 long balls on the campaign.

Judge went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run and two runs scored in Saturday's 8-3 win over the Blue Jays.
EDGE Analysis
Judge hit a two-run home run in the first inning and then singled and came around to score in the seventh. He has homered six times in his past 10 games and is so good he was intentionally walked in just the second inning. On the year, the 32-year-old leads the majors with 41 homers, 103 RBI and a 1.154 OPS across 492 plate appearances.
