According to Bryan Hoch of MLB .com, that makes the Yankees the first team in Major League Baseball history with multiple nine-homer games, period. The fact that they did so twice in the same season is the type of baseball oddity that makes the game so fun to watch.

Cody Bellinger was one of three New York Yankees players to homer twice in a nine-homer barrage, leading to an MLB record and domination of the Tampa Bay Rays.

Giancarlo Stanton and Cody Bellinger both hit two home runs, Aaron Judge launched his 40th of the season and the New York Yankees matched a franchise record with nine longballs in a 13-3 win over the Tampa Bay Rays.

Aaron Judge, Cody Bellinger and Giancarlo Stanton hit back-to-back-to-back home runs in the first inning as the Bronx Bombers tied a franchise record.

Shane Baz allows three consecutive homers in the first inning and five total, Ian Seymour gives up three and Mason Montgomery another.

Junior Caminero’s first full season in the majors has been a treat for Rays fans, who have been treated to power shows and outstanding play at third base.

Currently, the Yankees (68-57) lead the race, leaving no doubt that the Rays will heavily rely on Rasmussen to dominate on Wednesday when he faces New York right-hander Cam Schlittler (1-2, 3.94 ERA). First pitch is scheduled for 7:35 p.m. ET.
