Saturday’s game saw the New York Yankees win 4-1 against the San Diego Padres at Petco Park. It was the Yankees' fourth consecutive win and their second victory in the three-game series.

In the first inning, Aaron Judge hit a 429-foot moonshot off Dylan Cease bringing in two runs for his team. The New York Yankees offense brought in another two runs in the fourth inning on Anthony Rizzo’s RBI single and Gleyber Torres’ sacrifice fly.

Aaron Judge has hit home runs in four consecutive games. He has 17 homers this season so far, tying him with Baltimore Orioles' Gunnar Henderson and Houston Astros' Kyle Tucker for the most in the major leagues.

Yankees fans took to X (formerly Twitter) buzzing about their win streak and captain Aaron Judge's home run spree happening simultaneously.

“Aaron Judge is on fire! His consistency and determination are truly inspiring. Keep shining, Yankees!” a fan said.
“Yankees are having a golden run,” another fan said.
“What a play Yankees,” someone wrote.

Several other fans continued to share their reactions about Judge who is leading the charts after a slow start.

“Btw he’s the real AL MVP sorry tucker/henderson fanboys,” a user wrote.
“He’s the best player in baseball. he just took a month off to let everyone else have a fair chance,” another user wrote.
“When I said, Judge gonna break his own record of 2022 people laughed at me,” a comment reads.

Aaron Judge went 2 for 4 with a .280 batting average and an impressive 1.050 OPS. The New York Yankees with 37 wins and 17 losses are leading the AL East.

Marcus Stroman expresses admiration for Aaron Judge's solid performance on the plate

The New York Yankees pitcher Marcus Stroman pitched six strong innings against the San Diego Padres keeping their hitless streak alive. When asked about Aaron Judge and the other heavy hitters, Stroman said:

“Just watching greatness, you know. Sometimes you can kind of take it for granted, to be honest.”
“But this is something I’ll be sitting with my grandkids at some point, saying I got the opportunity to play with Aaron Judge and Juan Soto and Gerrit Cole, because those are going to be three of the best players, I think, to ever play this game.”

Stroman didn’t allow any runs to the Padres, giving up just three hits while striking out five batters and walking one.
