Trout and Judge Put On Historic Show as Yankees Walk Off Angels 11-10

Some games transcend the sport. Monday night at Yankee Stadium delivered one of those.

Mike Trout and Aaron Judge — two of the most feared hitters of their generation, each a three-time American League MVP — both went deep twice in the same game for the first time since June 21, 1956, when Stan Musial and Roy Campanella accomplished the feat. The result was a 11-10 Yankees win that had everything: dramatic home runs, clutch hits, a walk-off wild pitch, and a sellout crowd witnessing something that may not happen again for another 70 years.

"That's baseball for you," Trout said afterward, still shaking his head. "It's what fans want, and to be able to see something like that, pretty cool."

Judge opened the scoring with a two-run homer in the second inning, then added another solo shot later. But Trout answered with authority — his second home run of the night, a two-run drive off the back wall behind the Angels bullpen in left-center, gave Los Angeles a two-run eighth-inning lead at 10-8. It was the kind of moment that reminded everyone why Trout is widely considered one of the greatest hitters ever.

Yet the night wasn't finished with its twists. With the Angels clinging to that lead, Trent Grisham — who had already homered once — stepped to the plate in the ninth and pulled a slider into the right-field seats, tying the game at 10. Then, after José Caballero doubled and stole third, he scored the winning run when Jordan Romano bounced a full-count slider past the plate and to the backstop on the ninth pitch of the sequence.

Judge, who turned 34 on April 26 and won AL MVPs in 2022, 2024, and 2025, was effusive in his praise for his counterpart: "He's the greatest of all time. It's been fun to watch his whole career, coming up at such a young age and instantly just putting yourself at the top of the list. It's special."

The numbers from the evening were staggering. Seven home runs travelled a combined 2,846 feet — more than half a mile. Judge's first homer went 456 feet and left the bat at 116.2 mph, the hardest-hit home run of the season. Both Trout and Grisham finished with five RBIs apiece.

For the Yankees, the win snapped a five-game losing streak and ended a concerning 0-6 run in one-run games. Manager Aaron Boone called it "good for the guys" to win a messy contest after their recent struggles.

Judge added: "Every time he comes to the Bronx, man, he puts on a show. I hate to see it, but it's fun competing against a guy like that."

Two MVPs, seven homers, one unforgettable night in the Bronx.
