Batting third in the lineup, Judge was up against Pablo Lopez and took him deep for a 467-foot dinger that measured at 113 mph off his bat. It was his 11th home run off the season that gave the Yankees an early 1-0 lead.
Following another dominating win with their captain leading from the front, fans took to social media to land their jibes on haters with hilarious reactions. Host of the Yankees Podcast, Jimmy Randazzo sent out a viral tweet to Yankees haters:

"He’s back bro he’s BACK," one fan wrote.
"Ohh boy CAP is back 🔥🔥🔥🔥," another quipped.
Some fans see this as a surge to his MVP-caliber comeback while some think Judge's home run ball went over 500 ft.
"BACK TO MVP FORM," one posted.
"Oh yeah, AL MVP is so BACK," another added.
"500 feet. Need a booth review," one asked.
Aaron Judge's home run became the center of attraction among teammates
Aaron Judge's solo shot in the first kickstarted the Yankees offense that would score three more on the night.
“You don’t even feel it, when you get it on the barrel like that,” said Judge.
Manager Aaron Boone was also left in awe of the spectacle and mentioned that even Giancarlo Stanton walked up the stairs to see the ball reach the third deck.
“As soon as it was hit, myself included, it was like you want to get to a position where you don’t miss where it’s going to land,” said Boone.
Even opposing pitcher Pablo Lopez couldn't help but heap praise on Aaron Judge's towering figure.
“It looked like a home run derby homer to me. I just turned around and saw the thing looked like that,” said Lopez. “We don’t see many dudes that tall, so when you’re going up, you better get it, like, up, higher than high.”
From the mound, Yankees pitchers shut down the Twins' offense, starting with Marcus Stroman who pitched six scoreless innings for his first win in four starts. He only allowed two hits and three walks.
