TAMPA — The Yankees have trifected the trifecta.
For the third time this season, the Yankees crushed back-to-back-to-back home runs — happening in the first inning all three times — on Tuesday night at Steinbrenner Field.
Aaron Judge, Cody Bellinger and Giancarlo Stanton each went deep against Rays right-hander Shane Baz in a span of seven pitches.
Judge clobbered his 423 feet to center field for his 40th home run of the year, Bellinger went 381 feet to right field and Stanton went 386 feet the other way to right-center for a quick 3-0 lead.

The Yankees joined the 2024 Dodgers and 1982 Brewers as the only teams to hit back-to-back-to-back homers at least three times in one season, according to Stathead’s Katie Sharp.
The other two times the Yankees have done it this season came on March 29 against the Brewers and April 29 against the Orioles.
In both of those scenarios, they did it to lead off the first inning, making it four straight homers against the Brewers. Judge was involved in all three while Bellinger took part in two.
