Aaron Judge Hits Second Homer, Dents Ambulance in Yankees’ Win

In a thrilling display of power, Aaron Judge left his mark not just on the scoreboard but also on an ambulance during the New York Yankees’ 3-1 victory over the San Francisco Giants. The reigning AL MVP showcased his prowess with a towering home run in the fifth inning off Giants reliever Ryan Borucki, sending the ball a remarkable 383 feet down the left field line at Oracle Park. Instead of finding its way into the hands of a lucky fan, the ball landed squarely on a parked ambulance in the tunnel, leaving a noticeable dent in its roof.

Judge’s impressive homer, which left his bat at a blistering 102.1 mph with a high launch angle, provided the Yankees with an insurance run they ultimately didn’t need. After starting pitcher Will Warren exited the game in the fifth inning, the Yankees’ bullpen, featuring Brent Headrick, Jake Bird, Tim Hill, and David Bednar, effectively shut out the Giants over the final 4 2/3 innings, sealing the win.

Despite a rocky start to the season, where Judge experienced his first golden sombrero since 2024 on Opening Night, he bounced back with a homer on Friday, making history alongside teammate Giancarlo Stanton. Now, with two home runs in just 13 at-bats, Judge’s season reflects an extreme mix of highs and lows, a trend that is likely to stabilize as the games progress.

This victory marked the Yankees’ third consecutive win to start the season, a feat they have now accomplished for three straight years. With the sweep of the Giants complete, the Yankees will enjoy an off day on Sunday before embarking on a three-game series against the Seattle Mariners, a matchup that could foreshadow a potential ALCS showdown.
