Yankees Make MLB History with Nine Home Runs in Win Over Rays
Hey everyone, have you heard about the incredible night the New York Yankees had recently? It was absolutely historic. On Tuesday, the Bronx Bombers smashed their way to a 13-3 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays, and in the process, they tied a franchise record by hitting nine home runs in a single game. What’s even more amazing is that this isn’t the first time it’s happened this season—the Yankees had already hit nine homers earlier against the Milwaukee Brewers in March. Because of this, they’ve officially made MLB history as the first team ever to have two games with nine or more home runs in a single season. Pretty wild, right?
The game didn’t get off to an immediate start. Rain and lightning caused nearly a two-hour delay, but once the players were finally on the field, the Yankees came out swinging. In the first inning alone, Aaron Judge, Cody Bellinger, and Giancarlo Stanton hit back-to-back-to-back home runs. Judge’s blast was a 429-foot shot that marked his 40th home run of the season, joining the elite company of Yankees legends like Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, and Mickey Mantle. Bellinger and Stanton followed with homers of their own, setting the tone for what would become a dominant offensive display.

The rest of the game only added to the excitement. Jose Caballero homered against his former team in the second inning, and Jazz Chisholm Jr. smashed one in the third. Stanton and Bellinger both added second homers later in the game, while Ben Rice and Caballero finished off the night with solo shots. By the ninth inning, the Yankees had hit a total of nine home runs, falling just one short of the MLB record of ten homers in a game, which was set by the Toronto Blue Jays back in 1987.
Manager Aaron Boone couldn’t hide his amazement, saying it was remarkable to achieve this level of offensive power twice in a season. Cody Bellinger echoed those sentiments, emphasizing the team’s belief in one another and the fun of seeing their talent come together so effectively.
This win wasn’t just about the home runs. It moved the Yankees to 68-57 on the season, putting them at the top of the American League Wild Card standings, though they remain five games behind the Toronto Blue Jays in the AL East. For the Rays, the loss dropped them to 61-65 and fourth in their division. The second game of the series is scheduled for Wednesday night, giving fans another chance to see if the Yankees can keep this historic momentum going.
So, whether you’re a die-hard Yankees fan or just love incredible baseball performances, this game will be remembered as one of the most electrifying offensive displays in recent MLB history. The Bronx Bombers truly lived up to their nickname, blasting their way into the record books.
