Following a lengthy road trip out west the Tampa Bay Rays returned home for a crucial two game set against the New York Yankees. After a lengthy rain delay, Shane Baz took the mound and promptly struck out Trent Grisham to start the game.

Giancarlo Stanton and Cody Bellinger both hit two home runs, Aaron Judge launched his 40th of the season and the New York Yankees matched a franchise record with nine longballs in a 13-3 win over the Tampa Bay Rays.

Cody Bellinger was one of three New York Yankees players to homer twice in a nine-homer barrage, leading to an MLB record and domination of the Tampa Bay Rays.
