Yankees blast nine homers in historic rout of Rays

The New York Yankees unleashed a historic power display, smashing nine home runs in a lopsided 13-3 win over the Tampa Bay Rays. This wasn’t just another night at the ballpark—it was the second time this season the Bronx Bombers have hit nine homers in a single game.

No other MLB team has ever pulled off that feat twice in one year. From three straight bombs in the first inning to three different players going deep twice, the whole thing felt like a July 4th show that just wouldn’t stop.

Yankees Make Home Run History Again

Back in March, the Yankees stunned the Brewers by launching nine home runs in a rout. Now, just a few months later, they’ve done it again—this time at the expense of the Rays.

No other team in MLB history has hit nine homers in a game twice in the same season. That’s wild, honestly.

Yankee Stadium is famous for being hitter-friendly, but this game happened at George Steinbrenner Field in Tampa. The Rays are calling it home while Tropicana Field gets hurricane repairs.

The ballpark’s dimensions match those in the Bronx, so the Yankees felt right at home with their big bats.

Back-to-Back-to-Back in the First Inning

The Yankees wasted no time. Aaron Judge, Cody Bellinger, and Giancarlo Stanton hammered three straight home runs in the top of the first off Shane Baz.

The crowd barely had time to settle in before the fireworks started. The Yankees looked determined to make history from the jump.

Multi-Homer Nights Fuel the Blowout

Three Yankees—Bellinger, Stanton, and former Ray Jose Caballero—each homered twice. That trio alone outslugged what some teams manage in a week.

The Rays just couldn’t catch a break at any point. The Yankees kept piling it on.

Complete Home Run List

Along with those six from the big three, the other home runs came from:

• Aaron Judge
• Ben Rice
• Jazz Chisholm

Every time it looked like the Rays might settle down, another Yankee sent one out. By the end, nine balls had left the yard and the record books needed a rewrite.

Weather Delay, Same Result

The night didn’t even start on time. Rain delayed the first pitch by nearly two hours.

Some teams might come out flat after that, but not these Yankees. Maybe the extra rest even helped, because they came out swinging harder than ever.

Stanton’s Take on the Night

Afterward, Giancarlo Stanton called the performance “incredible across the board.” That about nails it.

Nearly every hitter did something, and the Yankees cemented their reputation as the most dangerous power hitters in baseball right now.

Setting the Tone for the Season

Two games with nine home runs before the All-Star break? That’s got to rattle the rest of the league a bit.

The Yankees mix discipline, raw strength, and comfort in certain parks to create a lineup that’s just scary.

With Tampa Bay still trying to get comfortable in their temporary home, this blowout gives New York both a mental edge and a bump in the standings.

The Road Ahead

If the Yankees keep swinging like this, pitchers everywhere are in for a long night. You can almost feel the tension building—fans are buzzing about the possibility of a third nine-homer game this season.

Right now, that 13-3 blowout over the Rays stands out as one of those wild, unforgettable offensive displays. When the Bronx Bombers get rolling, it just feels like anything can happen, and honestly, no ballpark seems big enough to hold them.
