Yanks mash 49th HR vs. O's to break MLB mark

BALTIMORE -- The Bronx Bombers are doing their best bombing in Baltimore.

In the same city where Francis Scott Key famously penned "The Star-Spangled Banner," the New York Yankees hit their 49th home run against the Baltimore Orioles this season, breaking the record for most by a team against a single opponent in one season.

The record breaker came in the top of the fifth inning Wednesday night at Camden Yards, when Gio Urshela sent a 97 mph sinker from reliever Miguel Castro over the left-center-field fence for a two-run shot.
