Judge was pulled in the bottom of the second inning, and he also received a huge ovation from fans while rounding the bases after launching the homer. Oswaldo Cabrera, a 23-year-old utility player, took over for Judge in right field.
Off the field, social media users congratulated Judge for his accomplishment, which included U.S. President Joe Biden.
