The New York Yankees are showing their true colors of 'Home Run Corps', breaking concerns that Juan Soto's departure will weaken the destructive power of the lineup.

The Yankees set another record that will go down in major league history. The Yankees beat the Baltimore Orioles 15-3 on the 30th (Korean time) in an away game against the Baltimore Orioles, including the first three consecutive home runs in the top of the first inning.

In the first inning, Trent Grisham, No. 2 Aaron Judge and No. 3 Ben Rice hit three consecutive home runs, and after one hit, Cody Bellinger added a home run and scored five points, including four solo home runs, in the first inning alone.




In particular, the Yankees made two consecutive home runs for the first three batters in the first inning this season. Paul Goldschmidt, Bellinger and Judge hit three consecutive batter home runs in the bottom of the first inning against the Milwaukee Brewers at Yankee Stadium on March 30. At that time, all three batters set a unique record of hitting the first pitch of Milwaukee starter Nestor Cortes and crossing the fence. After two outs, Austin Wells also crossed the left fence and showed off his strength to hit four home runs in the first inning alone. Judge hit a grand slam in the third inning and a two-run homer in the fourth inning, throwing eight RBIs in the game.

On the day, Judge pushed a high sinker in the middle of Gibson's 91.4 miles of first pitch and crossed the right fence well. He hit his ninth homer of the season with an angle of 35 degrees, a batting speed of 100.7 miles and a flying distance of 364 feet.

In other words, the Yankees were recorded as the first team to hit four home runs in the first three batters in a row and in the first inning alone with the start of the game twice in a season. The first three consecutive home runs in the first inning was the 11th in the Major League.




Judge, who participated as a back-to-back home run member in two games, raised the mood in the beginning with Grisham hitting a home run from the start. He entered the batter's box and blew the ball to Utah Street (outside the right outfield seats at Oriole Park). It was really impressive, and we were stimulated as well."

Baltimore starter Gibson made his first appearance of the season after belatedly signing a one-year, $5.25 million FA contract at the end of March to boost his sense of practice in the minor leagues. In three ⅔ innings, he had 11 hits, including five homers, and lost nine runs.

Baltimore manager Brandon Hyde said `Gibson allowed four home runs in the first inning alone. It is proof that he was not in good condition. Since then, I've been thinking about how to lead the game"It was regrettable. In the second inning, Rice hit a superior solo shot and Austin Wells hit a solo shot to left-center in the ninth inning, making 19 hits including six home runs on the day.

Judge, the only .400 hitter in the Major League, continued his hitting sense with two hits, one RBI, one run, and two walks in three at-bats, including a home run.

With this, Judge marked a season batting average of .412 (47 hits in 114 at-bats), nine homers, 29 RBIs, 28 runs, a .507 on-base percentage, a .728 slugging percentage, an OPS 1.235 and 17 long hits, and 83 hits. Together, the two leagues are ranked first in batting average, hits, on-base percentage, slugging percentage, OPS, and Ruta. When it comes to AL, he is also No. 1 in scoring and RBIs.

With this pace, Judge marks 254 hits, 49 homers, 151 runs, 157 RBIs and 448 hits in the season. Except for home runs, everything is career-high pace. For the second consecutive year, the unanimous AL MVP is Tanon Dangsang.

The Yankees led the AL East with 18 wins and 12 losses.
