8/20/25 | Yankees' 9 homers traveled almost a mile; Here's blow-by-blow. Rays right-hander Shane Baz was the gas station for the start of a Yankees' power show that they never, ever topped, nine homers in nine innings in a 13-3 slaughtering. Baz's 1-1 cutter to Aaron Judge with one out in the first inning split the plate just above the belt. Judge barreled it up for a towering drove that sailed high over the center-field wall for a 429-foot homer that set off a huge roar at Steinbrenner Field, which is filled mostly with Yankees fans in spring training and was the same way on Tuesday night. Three pitches later, Baz threw the same mistake pitch to Cody Bellinger, another cutter above the belt across the plate. Source: https://www.nj.com/yankees/2025/08/yankees-9-homer... |

If you haven't already connected the dots yourself, the Rays and their rotation are an example of a team that trades punches with baseball's big boys despite a similar type of rotation as the Cardinals this season.
