That was all prelude to even more power from the Yankees, as they wound up setting a franchise record with nine home runs for the game en route to a 20-9 win that pushed the Yankees to 2-0 on the young season and dropped the Brewers to 0-2. The first three of the opening frame, as noted, came in back-to-back-to-back fashion -- the first time in franchise history that the Yankees have hit three straight homers to start a game -- by Paul Goldschmidt, Cody Bellinger, and Aaron Judge. The Brewers clawed back three runs in the top of the second off Max Fried, who was making his Yankee debut, but then Cortes gave it back in the bottom half when he allowed his fifth home run of the day -- this one a three-run shot off the bat of Anthony Volpe.
