The New York Yankees 'MVP trio' showed off the power of the slugging line by hitting three consecutive home runs.

Aaron Judge, Cody Bellinger and Giancarlo Stanton exploded their cannons one after another in the top of the first inning in the first two consecutive away games against the Tampa Bay Rays at Stain Brenner Field in Tampa, Florida on the 20th (Korea time).

Judge, who came into his first at-bat as the second designated hitter, hit a 92.3-mile cutter flying into the middle of Tampa Bay right-hander Shane Baz's third pitch to well over the center fence. It was a large arch with a launch angle of 29 degrees, a batting speed of 112.3 miles, and a distance of 429 feet.




It is the first time in three days that Judge hit a home run since a solo shot to right-center taken from Sonny Gray in the top of the third inning against the St. Louis Cardinals on the 17th.

Judge, who marked his third and 40th home run of the season after returning from an elbow injury, trailed Seattle Mariners Cal Raleigh (47), who ranks first in the AL in this category, by seven.

Bellinger, who then entered the batter's box, also pulled a 92.3 mile cutter in the middle of Baz's third pitch and crossed the right fence. The parabolic ball, which drew a large parabolic ball at a launch angle of 30 degrees and 98.5 miles, slightly crossed the fence. 23rd home run of the season.




Stant, the fourth batter, also hit a 98.4-mile fastball that flew outside Baz's third pitch on a two-strike to hit it over the right fence. It is the 13th arch of the season with a launch angle of 23 degrees, a batting speed of 104.4 miles and a driving distance of 386 feet.

All three big guns are owners of regular season MVP careers. Judge won MVP in 2022 and 2024, Bellinger won 2019, and Stanton won MVP in 2017.

Their back-to-back home runs gave the Yankees an early lead.
