Yankees Make History in Power Display
The New York Yankees put on a show Tuesday night, blasting nine home runs in a commanding 13–3 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays. The long-ball explosion tied the franchise record for most homers in a single game, originally set back in 2020.
The fireworks began early and didn’t let up. Aaron Judge, Cody Bellinger, and Giancarlo Stanton went deep back-to-back-to-back, electrifying the Bronx crowd and cementing this team’s reputation as one of the most dangerous lineups in baseball.
Judge’s Milestone
Aaron Judge continued his MVP-caliber season, hitting his 40th home run of the year. Despite lingering questions about his arm strength in the field, Judge reminded everyone why he’s the face of the franchise with another towering blast that left Yankee Stadium buzzing.
Manager Aaron Boone clarified earlier remarks about Judge’s recovery, saying he expects the captain to return to the outfield once fully ready. Judge himself insists he’s on track, and his offensive numbers—.333 batting average, 39+ HRs, and 90+ RBIs—speak for themselves.
Supporting Cast Steps Up
It wasn’t just Judge carrying the load. Stanton crushed his 29th homer, while Bellinger added his 25th in style. Young contributors also chipped in, showing the Yankees’ depth runs deeper than just their stars.
With Amed Rosario activated from the injured list, New York also welcomed back a versatile bat to strengthen the bench. In a corresponding move, catcher J.C. Escarra was sent back to Triple-A.
Cabrera Rehab and Playoff Push
Utility man Oswaldo Cabrera gave fans more good news, updating reporters on his ankle rehab. While a September return is still uncertain, Cabrera is optimistic about getting back into the mix before the season’s end.
The Yankees now sit at 67–57, firmly in the Wild Card picture. With the Rays fading, this latest power surge could give New York the momentum needed for a deep playoff run.
Final Word
The Yankees’ record-tying night was more than just a stat-padding blowout—it was a reminder that this team is built for October. If Judge, Stanton, and Bellinger keep swinging like this, and the supporting cast stays healthy, the Bronx Bombers could be peaking at just the right time.
