Aaron Judge is off to an incredibly fast start for the Yankees after often starting slowly and it highlighted a good opening week for the defending AL Champions.

In the seventh inning of a tie game, Judge saw a sinker from John Schreiber that cut across the plate and demolished it into the bullpen in right-center for his seventh homer of the season. Mid-April is too soon for pace calculators, but if extrapolated he would be on track for 63.

Aaron Judge hit a tiebreaking homer leading off the seventh inning that ended a 10-game drought, and the New York Yankees defeated the Kansas City Royals 4-3 on Wednesday night to complete a three-game sweep.
