While Judge smashed his 54th home run, the Yankees won the game. The Yankees defeated the Twins by a 5-2 margin. Post-conclusion, Judge took his wife to a women’s tennis game at the ongoing US Open tournament. It was almost like a celebratory act for his personal milestone and the team’s victory.

A jubilant Judge then got seen smiling and sipping cocktails with his wife Samantha Bracksieck at the Arthur Ashe stadium. The couple got married last year. Aryna Sabalenka won the tennis face-off defeating Danielle Collins by a 6-3, 3-6, 2-6 margin in the fourth round.
The chances for Judge and the Yankees
Amidst inconsistencies, the Yankees are still the top-ranked team in the American League East zone. A win in the recent game against the Twins gives the Yankees an 81-54 win-loss record. There is every possibility for the Yankees to travel far and represent the American League in the World Series. Likewise, more games at hand will allow Judge to potentially break the overall seasonal home run record.
