Jazz Chisholm Jr. raised his bat high and angled his body as though attempting to steer his seventh-inning drive, savoring the ensuing celebration as his second home run of the game capped a historic weekend.
The New York Yankees started their 2025 season off with quite a bang during an opening three-game series against the Milwaukee Brewers. Jazz Chisholm Jr. launched a three-run homer in the seventh inning of Sunday's contest, which gave the home team 15 home runs in the series.
For one game, one nine-inning bundle of chaos for the history books, the Yankees made it easy to forget that 41 homers worth of power bolted to Queens and completely reshaped their offseason.
Aaron Judge became the first player in Yankees history to hit at least four homers in the team’s first three games.
Saturday marked the third three-homer game of Judge’s career. The slugger achieved the feat twice in 2023, hitting three dingers against the Nationals on Aug. 23 and against the Diamondbacks on Sept. 22. Lou Gehrig is the only player in franchise history with four homers in a game. He recorded that rare feat in 1932.
The Yankees hit a franchise record nine home runs to beat the Milwaukee Brewers, 20-9, on Saturday afternoon. - New York started the game off with a splash, well ... four splashes, to be exact.
