Aaron Judge, Yankees Tie MLB Record with 15 HRs in First 3 Games of 2025 Season

Bronx Bombers indeed.

The New York Yankees started their 2025 season off with quite a bang during an opening three-game series against the Milwaukee Brewers. Jazz Chisholm Jr. launched a three-run homer in the seventh inning of Sunday's contest, which gave the home team 15 home runs in the series.

It also tied the Major League Baseball record for home runs in the first three games of a season:

That wasn't the only history Sunday, as Aaron Judge hit a long ball in the first inning to give him four on the campaign. That made him the first player in the Yankees' storied history to hit four home runs in the first three games of a season after he blasted three in Saturday's 20-9 blowout win.

Judge's three home runs in Saturday's victory was part of a nine-homer effort for New York, which set a franchise record.

There would be no nine-homer performance Sunday, but the home team still put on a show with Chisholm hitting two and Judge and Ben Rice going long. 

Fortunately for the Brewers, they don't have to play New York again for the rest of the season. It was a series to forget for the National League Central club that is now starting the year in a hole thanks to the power display from the Yankees. 

The power outbreak brought plenty of attention to the new bats that some members of the Yankees have used in the opening series. They somewhat resemble a bowling pin with more of the wood moved toward the label.

While Brewers pitcher Trevor Megill said, "It's the Yankees, so they'll let it slide," per Dan Martin of the New York Post, an MLB spokesperson told The Athletic's Chris Kirschner "the shape of the bat does not violate the rules."

Not every member of the team is using the bats either, but seemingly everyone in the lineup is launching home runs at the start of the season.

Which is exactly how New York made so much history in the opening series.
