The Milwaukee Brewers were crushed by the New York Yankees on Saturday afternoon, by a score of 20-9. Headlines from this contest include the Yankees custom torpedo bats resulting in nine home runs, Aaron Judge hitting three long balls, and Nestor Cortes struggling mightily against his former team. However, in this wild game, five franchise/MLB records were set. Here we break them all down.
Five different ways the Milwaukee Brewers were on the wrong side of franchise/MLB history in 20-9 loss against the New York Yankees
- The Yankees hit three home runs to start the game for the first time in franchise history
- The Yankees hit four home runs in the first inning of the game for the first time in franchise history
- The Yankees seven home runs through three innings are the most in a game in MLB history
- The Yankees are the first team in MLB history to hit at least eight home runs and commit at least four errors in the same game
- The Yankees nine home runs in a single game is a franchise record

Not quite records, but honorable mentions
Other nuggets, that were not quite franchise or MLB records, include:
- The Yankees nine total home runs being the second most in any MLB game, with 10 being the record
- Nestor Cortes is the first pitcher since Ralph Branca in 1949 to allow five or more home runs and five or more walks in a game
