Overview

• Aaron Judge, Cody Bellinger, and Giancarlo Stanton homered consecutively in the first inning off Rays starter Shane Baz at Steinbrenner Field.
• Judge’s drive cleared the batter’s eye at 429 feet with a 112.3 mph exit velocity for his 40th homer of the season.
• Judge’s 40th placed him with Shohei Ohtani as the only active players with at least four 40-homer seasons, as noted by Talkin’ Baseball.
• All three of the Yankees’ back-to-back-to-back sequences this year have come in the first inning, following earlier bursts on March 29 and April 29.
• Stanton returned to the lineup after limited usage over the weekend and delivered a 386-foot homer, as manager Aaron Boone voiced caution about Judge’s arm while Judge said he feels fine.
