Home-field advantage carries a different meaning this season, with players unable to bank on a crowd’s energy to raise their adrenaline levels. Yet the Yankees believe they always have the upper hand in their building, where their fearsome lineup slugs home runs in bunches and they have yet to lose a game in 2020.
Luke Voit mashed a three-run homer and Aaron Judge added his Major League-leading ninth long ball, powering the Yankees past the Braves, 9-6, on Tuesday at Yankee Stadium. The Bombers have won all five games played in the Bronx this season and have homered in 13 straight contests at home, dating back to last year.
