Keeping tabs on every home run for the New York Yankees this season. Live by the home run, die by the home run. The long ball brought the Bombers bats back to life in a 6-4 afternoon victory against the Tampa Bay Rays. The Yankees went from losing and having only two hits, to winning while homering off two pitches.
With the Yankees trailing 3-0 in the sixth, Brian McCann belted the equalizer to right, off Chris Archer. McCann’s 25th, knotted the contest at three. The 25 home runs are a new career best for McCann.
