Bronx Bombers home run alert

·

Keeping tabs on every home run for the New York Yankees this season. Different stadium. Different decade. Doesn’t matter. Whenever the Bombers have their backs up against the wall against the Minnesota Twins, they have them right where they want them. Such was the case again Saturday, as the Yanks hammered away at the Twins, turning a 5-1 deficit into an 8-5 victory. Alex Rodriguez went deep three times like it was 2009 and John Ryan Murphy evoked the memory of Francisco Cervelli in Atlanta the same season.

With the Yanks being held hit less and mired in a 5-0 hole. Al from Miami jumped the Bombers off the mat. On a 2-0 delivery from Tommy Milone, A-Rod swatted a solo shot to left for home run 21 on the year, making it 5-1 in the fourth.

Jumping to the seventh, A-Rod jumped on a 1-1 offering from Milone. Rodriguez’s two-run tater to left center, pulled the Yanks within two at 5-3. It was A-rod’s second of the contest and number 22 on the season.

Fast forward to the ninth, A-Rod went deep yet again, because of course he did. Not wasting any time, Al smacked the first pitch he saw from Glen Perkins to dead center, knotting the game at five. A-Rod’s third of the game and number 23 on the campaign, put the Yanks back in business.

Oh but the navy blue bomberoo wasn’t done yet. With two on and one down, Murphy drilled his first of the season, a three-run smash to right center off Perkins, for his first of the season, posting the Yanks to an 8-5 advantage.

The Bronx Bombers have 127 round trippers in 2015.
