Yankees Set Franchise Record with 9 Home Runs, Defeat Brewers 20-9

In a historic performance, the New York Yankees set a franchise record by hitting nine home runs in a 20-9 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers on March 29. The game began with three consecutive first-pitch home runs by Paul Goldschmidt, Cody Bellinger, and Aaron Judge, marking the first time in Yankees history this occurred. Judge notably contributed with three home runs, including a grand slam, and drove in a career-high eight runs. This achievement places the Yankees among only three teams in MLB history to hit nine home runs in a game, joining the Cincinnati Reds and the Toronto Blue Jays. The onslaught of offense came despite a struggling pitching performance from former Yankee Nestor Cortes, who allowed eight runs in just two innings. The Yankees' strong start to the season has alleviated concerns over their offense following the offseason departures and injuries to key players.
