Yankees Hit Six Home Runs, Sweep Nationals in Record Victory

The New York Yankees delivered a historic performance in their 11-2 victory over the Washington Nationals at Yankee Stadium, completing a three-game sweep and setting multiple MLB records. Six different Yankees hit home runs, marking the third time in 2025 that at least six players homered in the same game—a feat no other team has achieved more than twice in one season in MLB history. The Yankees also recorded nine runs in a marathon third inning that lasted over 40 minutes, sending 15 batters to the plate and forcing Nationals starter Cade Cavalli's early exit. This inning broke the record for the most pitches thrown in a single inning during the pitch-tracking era, with Nationals pitchers throwing 77 pitches, highlighting the dominance of the Yankees' offense. Additionally, Aaron Judge, Trent Grisham, and Cody Bellinger became only the second trio of Yankees outfielders to each hit at least 25 home runs in the same season, echoing a legendary 1941 milestone. The victory also secured the Yankees' 34th straight winning season at home, the second-longest streak in MLB history.
