The New York Yankees crushed a franchise record-tying nine home runs in a dominant 13-3 win over the Tampa Bay Rays on Tuesday.

The New York Yankees homered nine times on Tuesday night in a 13-3 win over the Tampa Bay Rays, and they’re looking to build on a strong 7-3 stretch on Wednesda

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.

After a lot of heavy rain that delayed the first pitch almost two hours until 9:31 p.m., the Yankees reigned homers in their spring training ballpark. Aaron Judge, Cody Bellinger and Giancarlo Stanton went back-to-back-to-back in the first inning with one out off Rays right-hander Shane Baz, and that was the start of a power show for the ages.

According to a post made by the team on X, the social media platform previously known as Twitter, the Yankees are the first team in MLB history to record two games in one season with nine home runs. The first game, which occurred at the beginning of the season against the Milwaukee Brewers, ended in the Pinstripes' favor with a whopping 20-9 score.

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.

Manager Aaron Boone has actually been part of three of the four nine-plus home run games, as, in addition to being The Bombers’ coach for their two games, he also hit the first home run of the Reds’ nine-homer barrage on September 4, 1999. (Thank you to Sarah Langs for the stats).

With Aaron Judge still rehabbing a right flexor strain, Yankees manager Aaron Boone said the superstar’s throwing will likely be compromised for the rest of the 2025 season.
