The New York Yankees are having a remarkable start this season. After breaking a franchise record with nine home runs in one game, they followed it up with four more, tying a major league record for the most home runs in the first three games of the season—15, to be exact.
Aaron Judge is leading the way. He started the game by hitting a two-run homer, bringing his total to four home runs in just two days. Jazz Chisholm Jr., one of several Yankees swinging the new torpedo-style bat, hit two home runs in the game. Even Ben Rice, with a traditional bat, got in on the action, hitting his first of the season.
The game wrapped up with the Yankees overwhelming the Milwaukee Brewers 12-3, marking a clean sweep of the series. Chisholm commented on their offensive prowess, saying, “We hit the ball all around the park…Our goal is to win every game.”
By the end of the series, the Yankees scored a staggering 36 runs. Chisholm’s success with the new bat has sparked excitement among fans and players alike. Marcus Stroman, pitching during this explosive game, marveled at how the balls were flying out of the stadium.
Interestingly, Judge, who has consistently impressed with his home run numbers in past seasons—62 in one season, 58 in another—was initially skeptical about changing his bat. However, he quickly made history by becoming the first Yankee to hit four home runs in the opening three games.
Between Judge’s first inning two-run homer and Chisholm’s three-run shot later in the game, they demonstrated how effective teamwork can amplify success. The Yankees showed that they can score runs not just with home runs but also through smart baserunning and situational hitting.
This impressive start hasn’t gone unnoticed. Recent statistics show that teams with strong offensive beginnings often maintain momentum throughout the season. For instance, in the past three years, MLB teams that scored 30 or more runs in their first series had a better than average win rate for the season.
As they move forward, manager Aaron Boone cautioned against overreacting to the early success, reminding everyone that it’s just the beginning. “Anytime you can sweep a playoff-caliber team like the Brewers, that’s a good thing,” he said.
For now, Yankees fans can bask in a thrilling start with hopes for an exciting season ahead.
