Aaron Judge had himself a night on the town Monday.

Shortly after recording his 54th home run of the season in the Yankees’ 5-2 win over the Twins, the 30-year-old athlete took in the U.S. Open with his wife of nearly a year, Samantha Bracksieck.

The couple, who exchange vows late last year, capped off their Labor Day weekend at Arthur Ashe Stadium, where American Danielle Collins lost to Aryna Sabalenka of Belarus, 6-3, 3-6, 2-6, in the fourth round. Carlos Alcaraz then defeated Marin Cilic in five sets in the nightcap to advance to the quarterfinals.

During the evening, Judge was seen smiling in his suite — where he even showed off his wedding ring — as he sipped cocktails during the match beside Bracksieck.

Though Judge and Bracksieck appeared to enjoy their date night at Flushing Meadows, the next few weeks are going to be critical for the Yankees superstar. He and the Bombers are looking to stay atop the AL East standings with the playoffs looming. Judge, who will be a free agent after the season, is also chasing down Roger Maris’ Yankees record of 61 home runs

The Yankees, who currently hold an 81-54 record, will face the rival Rays, Red Sox, and Blue Jays down the stretch to close out the regular season.

Regardless of what happens, however, Bracksieck will almost certainly be cheering Judge on as he looks to capture his first-ever championship.

High-school sweethearts, Judge and Bracksieck first crossed paths in Linden, Calif., and later reunited at Fresno State University. 

The couple became husband and wife in December, when they tied the knot in a lavish ceremony in Hawaii.
