Aaron Judge runs through fence to make incredible running catch

Aaron Judge ran through a fence to make an amazing running catch — literally.

With the Max Muncy on first base and the Yankees clinging to a two-run lead in the eighth inning, Judge robbed J.D. Martinez of an extra-base hit.

They Yankees went on to a 6-3 win over the Dodgers on Saturday at Dodgers Stadium.

The rubber match will be Sunday at 7 p.m. on ESPN.

Interestingly, Muncy was awarded second base because Judge went out of the field of play when he caught the ball.

But Michael King and the Yankees escaped the inning with no damage thanks to Judge’s heroics.

The 6-foot-7, 282-pound Judge hit the wall — right at the Yankees’ bullpen — with such force that the fence swung open and he nearly fell in. But he just took a step in to steady himself, with the ball secure in his glove.

Trainers and Boone went out to check on the Yankees’ star slugger, but Judge stayed in the game and said he was fine afterward.

“I think the fence got most of it,” Judge said with a grin to The Post’s Greg Joyce and other reporters after the win. “Thankfully, it was that part of the wall where it had some give. So I think that saved me quite a bit. If it was a solid wall, we might be [telling] a different story.”

Earlier, Judge belted a solo home run for the Yankees’ fifth run.

He now has 19 homers and 40 RBIs on the season.

This was the second time on the Yankees’ road trip where Judge homered and made a miraculous catch in the same game.

Judge belted two home runs in the Yankees’ 10-4 blowout win over the Mariners on Tuesday.

Then put an exclamation point on his night by robbing Teoscar Hernandez of a home run in the eighth inning, going back to the wall, leaping and reaching over to make the highlight-reel grab.
