At a time when most things that could go wrong are going wrong for the Yankees, they still have their two constants: Aaron Judge and beating the Twins. 

The former helped accomplish the latter Monday, with Judge continuing his pursuit of history and putting the Yankees on his back while he’s at it. 

Judge crushed his 54th home run of the season, a two-run shot that broke a tie game in the sixth inning and lifted the Yankees to a 5-2 win over the Twins at the Stadium. 

It was the third straight game in which Judge has homered — the third time he has done so this season — inching him closer to Roger Maris’ franchise — and American League — record of 61 set in 1961. Judge’s 54th homer came in the Yankees’ 135th game of the season after Maris had 53 through 135 games in 1961. 

As usual, Judge had no reaction to getting closer to Maris’ mark. 

“It’s just not important to me,” he said after adding a double and a walk. “What’s important to me is winning. Winning this division first off and putting our team in a good position going into the postseason. It’s not all about me, no matter what happens. If I go 0-for-4 or 4-for-4, it’s not about me. One guy can’t win or lose you a ballgame.” 

The MVP candidate is certainly putting that theory to the test, though. 

“Man, it just gets more and more amazing what he’s doing, it really does,” manager Aaron Boone said. “Doesn’t get pitched too much and is just ready when it is in there.” 

While Judge homering has become the norm, the Yankees (81-54) also got solo shots from two unlikely sources in Marwin Gonzalez and Isiah Kiner-Falefa. Clay Holmes then recorded his second straight save by striking out a pair in a clean ninth inning. 

They helped the Yankees once again beat the Twins (68-65) — they improved to 112-39 against Minnesota since 2002, including 22-2 in The Bronx since the start of 2015 — after coming off a rough road trip. 

Judge was in the middle of the Yankees taking a 1-0 lead in the first inning when he roped a double to the gap and came around to score on Josh Donaldson’s fly ball off the left-field wall — though Donaldson was thrown out trying to stretch it into a double after getting a slow start out of the box. 

Gonzalez took Chris Archer deep for a solo shot in the bottom of the third, making it 2-0 with his first hit since July 6 after going 0-for-29 in between. He also became the first Yankee not named Judge to score a run since Wednesday. 

The Twins came back to tie it in the fifth inning on a moonshot of a two-run home run from Gary Sanchez. The former Yankees catcher, playing in his first game back in The Bronx since being traded to the Twins this spring, demolished the baseball with his 473-foot homer — the fourth-longest in MLB this season, with the other three coming at Coors Field — off Jameson Taillon that hit the top of the bleachers in left field. 

But Taillon finished the fifth inning with the tie intact, thanks in part to right fielder Oswaldo Cabrera. The rookie fielded Gilberto Celestino’s hit off the wall and fired a strike to second to throw him out. 

It proved key as the Twins went on to collect a pair of two-out singles before Taillon escaped the jam, capping off a solid outing in his first start back from getting hit in the right forearm by a line drive last week. 

After Judge went deep in the sixth inning, Kiner-Falefa cracked his second home run of the season in the seventh for the 5-2 lead. 

“We’re dealing with a lot of adversity right now, so with everything we’re going through, it feels good to get contributions from everywhere,” Kiner-Falefa said. “It was just a complete game.”
