History Made With New York Yankees First 3 Batters Hitting Home Runs
History was made by the New York Yankees in tonight’s game against the Baltimore Orioles. The Yankees hit back-to-back-to-back home runs to lead off the game. The history led to a 5-0 Yankees lead. The Yankees led 6-0 after two innings as Ben Rice hit his second home run of the game.
Orioles Starting Pitcher Kyle Gibson was overmatched by the onslaught from the Yankees. The history made by the Yankees in this game was reinforced by a dominant performance from Yankees Starting pitcher Carlos Rodon, who retired the first nine Orioles of the game. Do you think the Yankees will achieve this feat again this season?
Trent Grisham Home Run
Trent Grisham hit the second pitch of the game onto Eutaw Street. Eutaw Street is the street that runs beyond the right field wall at Camden Yards. That was a rude way to greet Gibson. That home run portended a short outing for the Orioles starter. That was the case as Gibson was relieved by Matt Bowman in the second inning. The Orioles need relief pitchers.
Aaron Judge Home Run
Aaron Judge‘s first-inning home run was his ninth home run of the year. That shot made a little history of its own. He is on pace to hit 56 home runs now. The drought he suffered hurt his unbelievable pace.
Ben Rice’s Home Run Makes History
Rice, the third batter of the game, hit a home run on the fifth pitch of the game. With that home run, the Yankees made history. They went back-to-back-to-back in the first inning. It was the second time this season the Yankees have done that. They became the first team in Major League Baseball history to do that. Rice also hit a home run in his second at-bat of the game. This game quickly became a laugher.
Conclusion
The Yankees’ torpedo bats, about which much was made, are working in this game. This is after they had not worked, for the most part, for the last 26 games. The Yankees made history, becoming the first team in MLB history to begin two games in a season with back-to-back-to-back home runs. This is the second time this season the Yankees have hit 4 home runs in the first inning. To add insult to injury, Rodon was perfect through five innings.
