The Yankees hit four home runs in the first inning off Brewers starter Nestor Cortes on Saturday, starting with three consecutive homers on three pitches. Their nine home runs broke the franchise record of eight and was one short of the MLB record, 10 homers in a single game accomplished by the Toronto Blue Jays in 1987.

Despite missing ace Gerrit Cole and 2024 AL Rookie of the Year Luis Gil due to injury, New York starters have posted a 3.66 ERA through the first four games, covering 19 ⅔ innings with just eight earned runs allowed.
