The New York Yankees unleashed a nine-homer barrage against the Tampa Bay Rays on Tuesday night, matching the club’s single-game record and building a 10–2 advantage by the fifth inning. Aaron Judge, Cody Bellinger and Giancarlo Stanton ignited the outburst with consecutive blasts in the first inning. Bellinger and Stanton each went deep again, while Ben Rice, Jazz Chisholm and José Caballero—who hit two—rounded out the tally. The power display tied the most home runs the Yankees have hit in any game since records have been kept. The contest was still in progress when the record was equaled.
It has been HOME RUN DERBY by the Bronx Bombers ! @Yankees as they unload 7 home runs thus far and leading @RaysBaseball 10-2 in the 5th inning. Time for me to go home and go to sleep. The dream of the wildcard for my RAYS has almost become impossible. https://t.co/VcrOLJIQjg
