It’s no secret that the Yankees’ high-powered offense has relied on the long ball. They are fifth in the Majors with 162 home runs — their highest total through 97 games in club history — and they have homered in all but 14 games this season, posting a 5-9 record in them.
Saturday marked the 15th time the ball didn’t leave the yard. Perhaps surprisingly, then, the Yankees didn’t seem to need one of their signature Bronx Bombs, managing a double-digit scoreline in an 11-5 win over the Rockies at Yankee Stadium.
