Aaron Judge of Yankees unleashes another historic home run spree, revealing striking facts.
Tale of the Tape: Yankees Sweep Home Run History
The NY Yankees made waves in their 15-3 victory over the Baltimore Orioles on Tuesday evening, breaking new ground in the realm of Major League Baseball. This time, they became the first team to open not one, but two games with a trio of home runs in a single season. Trent Grisham, Aaron Judge, and Ben Rice took Gibson for a spin in the initial inning, nailing three back-to-back-to-back homers[1][2][3].
Grisham promptly set the tone for the historic show of power, saying in a post-game interview: "When he [Grisham] goes up there and absolutely annihilates one to Eutaw Street[4], it gets your juices flowing, no doubt."
Take a gander back to March 29 against the Milwaukee Brewers; the Yankees had already made history with their first charge, as Paul Goldschmidt, Cody Bellinger, and Judge rifle-fired three consecutive homers[1][3]. In both games, two more home runs were belted later in the opening inning. Against the Brewers, it was Austin Wells who took the reigns, while Bellinger followed suit in the second at-bat against the Orioles[1].
Yankees' Jazz Chisholm Jr.: All Smiles, Guarded OptimismDespite a hamstring injury that may sideline Jazz Chisholm Jr., Manager Aaron Boone is keeping his cool. Chisholm's optimism remains unshaken, brushing off concerns about the latest setback[7].
The Yankees recovered admirably after a 4-3 loss in the first game of the series. Now, they stand poised to secure a series victory on Wednesday, with Carlos Carrasco toeing the rubber against Cade Povich[5].
Leading Batters Shine in 2025The top batters in the Yankees' lineup have been on fire this season. It's no surprise that Judge is raking it in, but his astonishing batting average above .400 has left many a buzzing in the stands[8]. Yet, Grisham and Rice's performances have left fans positively slack-jawed; Grisham was initially the fourth outfielder, known for his Gold Glove-worthy defense in center field[8]. The Yankees have long maintained high hopes for Rice, and with his stellar showings of late, he's undoubtedly turning heads of those sleeping on his minor league career[8].
