Aaron Judge might have had a slow start this season, but the Yankees captain has been picking up the pace. While he had a few ups and downs, his determination to hit the ball has been evident.

In his last 11 games alone, Judge's batting clip increased to .385. The slugger went deep in his previous game against the Houston Astros with an incredible shot into right-center field. The Yankees offense dominated the Astros as they took the three-game series.

In an interview with Yes Network, Judge reflected on the Yankees' win, shedding light on Juan Soto and Giancarlo Stanton's performances. Soto and Stanton went deep along with Judge to power the team's offense.

"Soto got the party started, especially that two-run home run in the first," Aaron Judge said. "Something special is going to happen. You just don't know when it is. You never know what's going to happen, but just every single time something special happens."

Judge further touched on Stanton's hardest-hit home run this season. The slugger described Stanton's performance as impressive and fun to watch.

"He outdid himself again tonight; just impressive. He stands with the baseball well, using the whole field. It's been fun to watch him do his thing this year," Judge said.

When asked if he expects more games like this with Stanton, Soto and himself performing at a high level, Judge said he hopes for it to happen.

"Good things are happening and the Yankees are winning," Judge added.
