The home run is ingrained into the Yankees’ DNA, and as far as this season is concerned, no one has cleared the fences more frequently. The Bombers belted six home runs on Tuesday, but Jordy Mercer connected for the game-winning hit, a walk-off single off Chance Adams that lifted the Tigers to a wild 12-11 victory at Comerica Park.
Brett Gardner and Didi Gregorius each homered twice as the Yankees inflated their season home run total to 276, briefly setting a new all-time Major League record that was equaled by the Twins later in the evening.
