The New York Yankees have a scorching hot offense right now. Across their first six games, they’ve recorded 22 home runs as a team, led by Aaron Judge’s five home runs. They’re well on pace to shatter the Atlanta Braves and Minnesota Twins home run record.

That brought their home-run total to 17 on the season, which Bryan Hoch of MLB.com noted is an all-time record for the first four games of a single campaign. The previous record was set in 2006 when the Detroit Tigers hit 16. This comes after the Bronx Bombers already tied the MLB record with 15 home runs through the first three games of a season.

The New York Yankees have gotten off to a record-setting start to the campaign.  To begin the year, the Yankees were able to sweep the Milwaukee Brewers.

Aaron Judge has hit six home runs this season, through Friday night's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates. That includes a three homer game on March 29, which tied his single-game career-high. If Judge hits six home runs every seven games the rest of the season, he'd end up with 139 home runs.

The homer was the 321st of Judge's 1,000-game career, which is significant because a different slugger also had 321 in his first 1,000 games with the Yankees. Babe Ruth had that many after joining the team in his trade from the Boston Red Sox.

Aaron Judge marked his 1,000th game by hitting his sixth homer of the season and the New York Yankees beat Pittsburgh 9-4 on Friday in the Pirates' home opener. Judge's shot to the seats in right-center in the seventh off Tim Mayza — who surrendered Judge's 61st home run during Judge's record-breaking 2022 season — boosted his career total to 321,
