Overview

• The New York Yankees have hit a record-breaking 25 home runs in their first eight games of the 2025 MLB season, the most by any team in league history.
• Aaron Judge's sixth home run of the season, hit during his 1,000th career game, ties Babe Ruth's total for home runs through the same number of games.
• Trent Grisham hit two home runs in the Yankees' 10-4 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates, including a three-run shot during a six-run fifth inning.
• Despite struggles in the starting rotation, including Marcus Stroman's performance on Saturday, the Yankees' bullpen has been a stabilizing force, combining for five scoreless innings in the win.
• The Pirates continue to struggle offensively, scoring only 27 runs through their first nine games, as they dropped to a 2-7 record.
