Yankees superstar Aaron Judge enjoys watching US Open with wife Samantha Bracksieck after smashing his 54th homer of the season

New York Yankees star Aaron Judge had a tremendous night Monday. He hit his 54th home run of the year in the Yankees' 5-2 victory over the Minnesota Twins at Yankee Stadium, tying a franchise record set by Alex Rodriguez.

Soon after the game concluded, Judge traveled from The Bronx to Queens to see the US Open nightcap at Arthur Ashe Stadium with his wife Samantha Bracksieck. American Danielle Collins lost 3-6, 6-3, 6-2 to Aryna Sabalenka in the fourth round.

The couple appeared to enjoy their night at the US Open and were seen sipping cocktails.

Judge made his MLB debut in 2016 with the Yankees and was selected as the American League Rookie of the Year in 2017. He was selected to the All-Star Game that year and became the first MLB rookie to win the Home Run Derby.

Judge hit his 54th home run of the 2022 season on Monday. By doing so, he equaled Alex Rodriguez's 2007 mark for the most home runs hit by a right-handed batter in a single season in Yankees history.

A-Rod congratulated Judge on social media.

After hitting his 54th home run, Judge said:

“Every single day, I show up to work ready to go and do whatever it takes to get our team a win. If that’s me moving a guy over, driving a guy in, making a play on defense – that’s what I’m focused on.”
