Yankees achieve rare historical feat with back-to-back-to-back homer barrage

BALTIMORE — On the one-month anniversary of the club creating a firestorm around the league with their use of torpedo bats in a game in which they scored 20 runs against the Milwaukee Brewers, the New York Yankees celebrated by creating MLB history.

The Yankees became the first team to hit three straight home runs to begin a game twice in the same season. On Tuesday, against Baltimore Orioles starter Kyle Gibson, Trent Grisham began the home run bonanza with a leadoff shot that landed on Eutaw Street beyond the right field wall. On the next pitch, Aaron Judge hit his ninth home run of the season, raising his batting average to .407. Designated hitter Ben Rice then followed Judge with a 378-foot home run over the right field wall; Rice later added another home run in the second inning, pushing his season total to eight. Two batters later, Cody Bellinger, who was moved down to fifth in the batting order because of his early-season struggles, added a solo home run.

New York hit back-to-back-to-back home runs on March 29 against Milwaukee Brewers starter Nestor Cortes Jr., who the Yankees traded this offseason in a deal that netted the club Devin Williams.

It wasn’t all good news for the Yankees in the first inning, though. Second baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr. exited the game with right flank discomfort. After fouling off a pitch from Gibson, Chisholm immediately reached for his side before manager Aaron Boone and a trainer emerged from the dugout. The second baseman took a few practice swings before staying in the game.

Chisholm doubled down the right field line and slid into third head first after an error from right fielder Ramón Laureano. Once Chisholm got to his feet, he turned to Yankees third base coach Luis Rojas and signaled to the dugout for a pinch runner. Oswald Peraza was inserted into the game and scored on an RBI double from Anthony Volpe.

If Chisholm were to miss time, Peraza is the likeliest candidate to take over at second base. Veteran DJ LeMahieu has taken reps at second base on his rehab assignment, but it was paused on Tuesday. Boone told reporters pregame that LeMahieu needed to take a preemptive cortisone shot in his hip because he felt discomfort. It’s expected that LeMahieu can resume his rehab assignment later this week, but he’ll likely require more time in the minors.
