NEW YORK, NEW YORK - AUGUST 24: Jazz Chisholm Jr. #13 and Aaron Judge #99 of the New York Yankees celebrate a 7-2 win over the Boston Red Sox at Yankee Stadium on August 24, 2025 in New York City.

Overview

  • He launched No. 100 off Dustin May in the second inning and added No. 101 off Walker Buehler in the eighth to seal a 7-2 win.
  • Cameras showed him emotional in the dugout as Aaron Judge embraced him, and he later said he had lost his best friend the day before.
  • The two blasts gave Chisholm 24 homers this season, tying his career high set in 2024.
  • Trent Grisham also hit two home runs, and MLB.com noted the Yankees are the first team to have at least two players with multi-homer games in three different games within a six-game span.
  • The victory prevented a four-game sweep by Boston and steadied New York after an eight-game skid against its rival.
