Trent Grisham, Aaron Judge, and Ben Rice hit back-to-back-to-back home runs to start Tuesday night’s game to make the Yankees the first team in MLB history to open multiple games with three consecutive round-trippers in New York’s 15-3 barrage of the Baltimore Orioles on Tuesday night from Camden Yards.
The Yankees (18-12) first hit three straight home runs to start a game on March 29 in the Bronx during their season-opening series against the Milwaukee Brewers.
Rice hit two home runs in the win, while Cody Bellinger’s third of the season also came in the first inning to cap off the four-homer, five-run first inning. Anthony Volpe provided the final run of that opening frame with an RBI double.
Rice cranked his second home run in the second inning to make it 6-0 before the Yankees added three more in the fourth through run-scoring singles by Paul Goldschmidt and Oswald Peraza. Goldschmidt picked up his second RBI of the day in the fifth with another single before Bellinger knocked in his second and third runs with a double.
Starting pitcher Carlos Rodon improved to 4-3 on the season by allowing two runs on two hits with seven strikeouts and a walk across six innings.
