NEW YORK -- Catcher Kyle Higashioka looked like he might go into the record books for the wrong reason.
Now he's landed in elite company.
Higashioka's third home run of his career, which came in the Yankees' 6-2 win over the Braves at Yankee Stadium on Wednesday, was also his third career hit.
The last Yankees player to homer for his first three hits: Alfonso Soriano in 1999 and 2000.
Higashioka also became the last player to do that since the Rockies' Trevor Story in 2016, who homered for his first four hits, and the ninth player to do it since 1900.
