Cody Bellinger, the game’s fifth batter, also hit a solo homer in the first, and Rice homered again in the second. Austin Wells hit New York’s final home run — all six came with nobody on — with two outs in the ninth. Gunnar Henderson hit a solo shot for Baltimore.

The New York Yankees became the first team in major league history to open a game with three consecutive home runs more than once in a season when Trent Grisham, Aaron Judge and Ben Rice went deep off Baltimore’s Kyle Gibson in the first inning.

The New York Yankees are off to a great start to the season, and a lot of credit has to go to the offense for their production early on. Coming into the year, there was a lot of concern about what the lineup might look like for the Yankees.
