New York Yankees star Aaron Judge etched his name higher onto the storied franchise's leaderboard on Tuesday night.

Judge hit his 359th career home run in the first inning against the Detroit Tigers , breaking a tie with Hall of Fame catcher Yogi Berra for fifth place on the franchise's all-time home run list.

Judge drove a full-count splitter from Casey Mize to right-center field, giving New York a 1-0 lead. The slugger’s 44th homer of the season had an exit velocity of 110.6 mph and traveled 412 feet.

Judge matched Berra on Aug. 31 in a 3-2 loss to the Chicago White Sox when he hit a solo homer against Martín Pérez.
