In this story:

There's a lot going on lately with New York Yankees star Aaron Judge.

First: On Monday he passed Alex Rodriguez for the fifth-most multi home run games in Yankees history. You can read about that accomplishment here.

Then: The Toronto Blue Jays broadcast team accused him of potentially cheating on Monday night as he hit two homers. You can read about that here -- and Judge's response -- here.

Now: On Tuesday, Judge has homered again against the Blue Jays and this one also set some Yankees history, as James Smyth of the YES Network put out on Twitter:

BIG home run to give the Yankees the lead and he tied Posada in a hurry here: 

Yankees Most HR vs Blue Jays All-Time 

31 Jorge Posada (186 G) 

31 Aaron Judge (100 G) 

28 Alex Rodriguez (166 G) 

25 Brett Gardner (196 G) 

25 Bernie Williams (197 G)

Obviously, what Judge has done is most impressive considering he tied Posada in 86 fewer games against the Blue Jays. It's fair to note that all these Yankees names are recent because:

1) The Blue Jays have only been around since 1977

2) The unbalanced schedule didn't become a thing until 2001, so only players in the last 20 years have had the benefit of more games against Toronto.

At the time of this posting, the Yankees lead the Blue Jays 5-3 in the eighth inning. Judge is 1-4 with the homer and two RBI. He's hitting .273 on the season with 11 homers and 26 RBI.
