Watch: Yankees' Aaron Judge homers on ball he thought was a fly-out

In the first inning, Judge made contact with a 3-1 fastball, lofting it to right field and immediately slamming the knob of his bat into the batter's box, believing he had connected on a mere fly ball. But, with only 314 feet separating home plate from the right field fence at Yankee Stadium, he must have forgotten where he was playing for a brief moment. 

After homering in five of nine games at the start of June, Judge went on a bit of a cold spell, failing to go yard in four straight. Following his long ball on Saturday, though, it looks like he's rounding back into shape. 

In the Yankees' last five games, Judge has recorded three home runs and six RBI. He has already homered in back-to-back games 10 times this season. 

With 28 home runs on the season, Judge is alone atop the MLB leaderboard. Gunnar Henderson of the Baltimore Orioles is second with 24, the same amount that Judge has hit over just the last 50 games.
