The New York Yankees hit nine home runs in their 20-9 win over the Milwaukee Brewers, and outfielder Aaron Judge clubbed three of them.
Aaron Judge clubbed three of the New York Yankees’ nine home runs in their 20-9 demolition of the Milwaukee Brewers Saturday at Yankee Stadium.
The nine home runs are a Yankees franchise record.
The first of Judge’s home runs came in the first inning, when the Yankees led off the bottom of the first with three home runs on three consecutive pitches.
The Yankees’ Paul Goldschmidt led the home run barrage when he deposited Brewers starting pitcher Nestor Cortes’ first pitch into the left-center field bullpen. Center fielder Cody Bellinger followed Goldschmidt’s home run with his own towering blast into the right-center field bleachers.
With the Yankees up 2-0 and the fans ecstatic with the back-to-back home runs, Judge kept them on their feet with a 468-foot blast to left field.
The three consecutive home runs on three consecutive pitches marked the first time in Yankees’ history that the team led off a game with three straight home runs.
