The New York Yankees lineup has always been built for power, and it was on full display in Sunday’s 10-3 win over the Colorado Rockies.
In the seventh inning, facing Rockies righty Jeff Criswell, the Bronx Bombers lived up to the name and then some. Juan Soto, Aaron Judge, and Giancarlo Stanton hit back-to-back-to-back home runs.
Soto and his solo shot started the barrage on Criswell’s first pitch. It was his 37th of the year—continuing his ongoing new career-high—and traveled 418 feet. Cue the handshake with team captain and next-man-up Aaron Judge, who already slugged his MLB-leading 50th homer earlier in the game.
