The New York Yankees — and their unusual-looking new bats — made an absolute statement on Saturday by launching nine (9!) home runs in a 20-9 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers at Yankee Stadium.
That’s just trying to be the best we can be,” manager Aaron Boone said Sunday. “We’re trying to win on the margins and that shows up in so many different ways.”
Paul Goldschmidt, Cody Bellinger and Aaron Judge went back-to-back-to-back on the first three pitches of the game from ex-Yankee Nestor Cortes, the first time ever that the Yankees have started a game with three consecutive homers. No team in MLB history had previously homered on the first three pitches of a game.
