a 20-9 victory over Milwaukee on March 29<\/a> at Yankee Stadium. That makes the 2025 Bronx Bombers the first squad in major league history to hit nine home runs in a game twice in one season.<\/p>\n\u201cWe have a really good offense,\u201d Bellinger said. \u201cYou\u2019re going to have ebbs and flows of a 162-game season. It\u2019s not always going to be pretty, but we all believe in each other and the talent is there. We\u2019re doing a good job of putting it all together. It\u2019s really fun to be a part of.\u201d<\/p>\n
It was just the fourth time a big league team has hit nine or more homers in a game. The record is 10, set by the Toronto Blue Jays on Sept. 14, 1987. <\/p>\n
Jazz Chisholm Jr. and Ben Rice also went deep for the Yankees, who won their fourth straight and looked awfully comfortable in a road game at their spring training home.<\/p>\n
New York took full advantage of the cozy dimensions before a crowd of 10,046 at George M. Steinbrenner Field, where the Rays are playing while Tropicana Field undergoes repairs. <\/p>\n
Judge, Bellinger and Stanton went back-to-back-to-back off Shane Baz to give the Yankees a 3-0 lead four batters into the game.<\/p>\n
With that, New York became the first MLB team to hit three consecutive homers in the first inning three times in one season (also March 29 and April 29).<\/p>\n
\u201cThe first three were just kind of no-doubters, with Judge hitting it almost all the way up the batter\u2019s eye, and then Belly really leaning on one,\u201d Yankees manager Aaron Boone said. \u201cAnd then Giancarlo, getting to two strikes there, just shot it the other way. In their own kind of way, three really good statement at-bats.\u201d<\/p>\n
