BRONX BOMBER BYTES
💣 New York ranks second in the majors and first in the American League with 172 home runs.
💣 The total keeps the 2026 Yankees alone at 41st on the franchise’s single-season home run list — with the 1937 and 1938 Yankees tied for 39th at 174.

💣 Trent Grisham’s home run was the second the Yankees have hit off Shane Baz this season and the 12th of Baz’s career — the most of any opposing team. Baz has allowed 54 career home runs.
💣 New York’s 13 homers against Baltimore this season are the second-most against any opponent. The Yankees have hit 17 against Kansas City.
💣 The solo home run was the Yankees’ 99th of the season. They hit 168 solo blasts a season ago.
💣 New York is 59-35 when hitting at least one home run.

📈 HR/G Percentage: 1.376 [⬇ 0.003 change]
📈 Projected season total: 222; that would tie for the 14th-best total in franchise history, joining the 2011 and 2021 Yankees.
