The New York Yankees got off to a hot start on Saturday, opening a home game against the Milwaukee Brewers by notching three straight home runs off of the first three pitches.
Better yet, the homers came against former Yankees pitcher Nestor Cortes, who was traded to Milwaukee soon after dropping the ball in New York’s World Series loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Yankees first baseman Paul Goldschmidt started things off, hitting off the very first pitch of the game. After that, left fielder Cody Bellinger got a solo homer of his own off his very first pitch, and then right fielder Aaron Judge did the exact same in his at-bat.
Cortes later gave up yet another solo homer in the inning, letting catcher Austin Wells hit one deep to give the Yankees a 4-0 lead.
