The New York Yankees had a remarkable start to their series finale against the Detroit Tigers on Tuesday night.

Shortly after, he did it again.

As expected, social media exploded with excitement from New York fans and the MLB community.

Here’s what people were saying:

@JBB_Media: “Paul Goldschmidt launches a leadoff HR off Tarik Skubal! Goldy is up to a .296 AVG and 13 HR in a storybook 38-year-old season.”

@BaseballWRLD_: “A leadoff home run off the reigning back-to-back AL Cy Young winner. Paul Goldschmidt at age 38 is going to have by far his best season since he won MVP. No words.”

@YankeeLibrarian: “Paul Goldschmidt should be headed to the All-Star Game. He’s this year’s 2022 Albert Pujols. It’s hard to imagine anybody would have seen this coming when the Yankees brought Goldy back. Homering off Tarik Skubal is special stuff…”

@BNightengale: “Paul Goldschmidt has faced Tarik Skubal twice today. he has homered twice. Yankees 2, Tigers 1 (3).”

@CodyStavenhagen: “Paul Goldschmidt has his second career two-HR game against Tarik Skubal.”
