Aaron Judge and Yankees teammates broke out for six home runs against Cubs rookie Matt Swarmer.
If every big-league start is like a opening a box of candy, No. 3 in the Bronx could probably best summed up as:One night after a sleep-deprived Yankees club returning late from a long trip outlasted the Cubs for a 2-1, 13-inning game, the powerful Yankees lineup woke up in a big way — clouting six home runs against the rookie in five innings Saturday night at Yankee Stadium on the way to an 8-0 blowout.
That set a modern franchise record for most home runs allowed by a Cubs pitcher — the most since at least 1884, when Tom Lee allowed six against the Providence Grays. All were solo homers — only the second time in big-league history any pitcher has allowed solo homers . Matt Swarmer allowed 6 HR, the most by a Cubs pitcher since Tom Lee allowed 6 in a game on June 28, 1884 .
He's the 2nd pitcher in MLB history to allow 6 solo HR in a game, joining Hollis "Sloppy" Thurston on August 13, 1932.
