MLB’s massive Monday

Monday’s games averaged 14.4 runs, the most since 1936 on any day of the MLB regular season with at least 10 games on the schedule.

It was only the sixth day in MLB history in which nine players hit multiple homers in a game, highlighted by Aaron Judge’s two shots for the Yankees. Judge has now done that 47 times in his career, second most in New York Yankees history.

And let’s be really clear: When you move up among the top five in Yankees’ team history — especially in homer-related stats — it’s not for nothing.
