The Yankees needed to take at least one of two games from the Tampa Bay Rays this week, and can now go for the sweep on Wednesday.
Tuesday saw the Bronx Bombers live up to their name and slug nine home runs in a 13-3 romp. Team captain and reigning MVP Aaron Judge kicked it off with a solo home run in the first inning, his 40th of the season. Cody Bellinger and Giancarlo Stanton went yard immediately after and each hit another homer later, with Bellinger finishing with a 4-hit night. Now, add home runs from Ben Rice and Jazz Chisholm Jr.
