Aaron Judge clubbed three of the New York Yankees' nine home runs in their 20-9 demolition of the Milwaukee Brewers Saturday at Yankee Stadium. 

The nine home runs are a Yankees franchise record.

The first of Judge’s home runs came in the first inning, when the Yankees led off the bottom of the first with three home runs on three consecutive pitches.

The Yankees’ Paul Goldschmidt led the home run barrage when he deposited Brewers starting pitcher Nestor Cortes' first pitch into the left-center field bullpen. Center fielder Cody Bellinger followed Goldschmidt’s home run with his own towering blast into the right-center field bleachers. 

With the Yankees up 2-0 and the fans ecstatic with the back-to-back home runs, Judge kept them on their feet with a 468-foot blast to left field. 

YANKEES RECORD HISTORIC INNING WITH HOME RUNS ON THREE CONSECUTIVE PITCHES

The three consecutive home runs on three consecutive pitches marked the first time in Yankees’ history that the team led off a game with three straight home runs. It was the first time that any team had hit a home run on three straight pitches since 2000, according to MLB Stats. 

But the Yankees weren’t done. Catcher Austin Wells hit an opposite-field home run just over the left-field wall to make it 4-0 in the first inning. It was the first time in team history the Yankees hit four home runs in the first inning of a game.
