NEW YORK -- The must-see batting-practice group of the spring showed off its promise every morning at Yankees camp, where Giancarlo Stanton, Gary Sanchez and Aaron Judge took their monstrous cuts in succession, stoking expectations for the season to come.
It is a group that could challenge records, and for the first time, all three of the Bombers' biggest bats have gone deep in the same game. Stanton, Sanchez and Judge each slugged a two-run homer in Wednesday's matinee against the Rays, powering the offensive attack at Yankee Stadium.
Coming off the first five-strikeout game of his career, Stanton cracked a first-inning line drive to left field off starter Blake Snell, marking his first Bronx homer as a member of the Yankees and his third round-tripper of the young season.
