After homer barrage, Yankees address attention-drawing bats

Using a strikingly different model in which wood is moved lower down the barrel after the label and shapes the end a little like a bowling pin, Paul Goldschmidt, Cody Bellinger, Austin Wells, Anthony Volpe and Jazz Chisholm Jr. homered in New York's 20-9 rout of the Milwaukee Brewers.

"That's just trying to be the best we can be," manager Aaron Boone said Sunday.
