Keeping tabs on every home run for the New York Yankees this season. Firing the first salvo in the Subway Series, it was the Yankees topping the New York Mets, 6-1. The Yanks rode the big blue bomberoo and tanked three long balls against Jacob deGrom. Mark Teixeira thrashed two towering taters and Jacoby Ellsbury banged a bullet to right as well.
Well, they are called the Bronx Bombers. https://t.co/WCAeA0USb4 #SubwaySeries
