BALTIMORE -- Greg Bird's first career slam on Wednesday was also a record-setting blast for the Yankees. It was the 152nd blast of the first half for the Bombers, breaking the 1999 Mariners' record.
Tyler Wade homered in the sixth inning for his first career homer, extending the Yanks' record to 153.
Bird launched his grand slam in the third inning of Wednesday's series finale at Camden Yards, winning a nine-pitch battle with right-hander Dylan Bundy by clanging a 76.7-mph curveball off the right-field foul pole.
