Tampa Bay Rays right fielder Josh Lowe is expected back Wednesday vs. the New York Yankees after missing three games with right oblique tightness.

Giancarlo Stanton and Cody Bellinger both hit two home runs, Aaron Judge launched his 40th of the season and the New York Yankees matched a franchise record with nine longballs in a 13-3 win over the Tampa Bay Rays.

According to Bryan Hoch of MLB .com, that makes the Yankees the first team in Major League Baseball history with multiple nine-homer games, period. The fact that they did so twice in the same season is the type of baseball oddity that makes the game so fun to watch.

Cody Bellinger was one of three New York Yankees players to homer twice in a nine-homer barrage, leading to an MLB record and domination of the Tampa Bay Rays.

The tarp at Steinbrenner Field was rolled out about eight minutes before the 7:35 p.m. scheduled start time between the Yankees and Rays.

The Yankees became the first team in big-league history to hit at least nine homers in a game twice in a single season.

It is once again time to embark on another 72-hour craze over the legitimacy of the Yankees’ bats and how they are changing the sport.

BOTTOM LINE: The New York Yankees take on the Tampa Bay Rays after Cody Bellinger had four hits against the Rays on Tuesday. Tampa Bay has a 32-31 record in home games and a 61-65 record overall. The Rays are 10th in the AL with 137 total home runs, averaging 1.1 per game.
