Dead ball doesn't stop Yankees from setting MLB record for HRs in June

The New York Yankees, as you may have heard, are pretty good at winning baseball games these days. They're even better at hitting home runs in June, apparently.

Via a pair of long balls by, who else, Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton, the Yankees set an MLB record for home runs in the month of June, according to MLB.com's Bryan Hoch. The team tied then surpassed the 2016 Baltimore Orioles and 2019 Atlanta Braves on Wednesday in a 5-3 win over the Oakland Athletics.

Judge got the Yankees on the board in the first inning with a massive full-count blast to left field, his MLB-leading 29th homer of the season.
