More evidence that the Yankees’ front office made the logical decision when it came to acquiring former Marlins centerfielder Jazz Chisholm Jr. before yesterday’s trade deadline. Derek Jeter’s advice to the Yanks din’t fall on deaf ears and the entire organization is elated that they didn’t. Chisholm has become a record breaker in just 24 hours of being a Yankee, becoming the first in the franchise to hit four HRs in the first three games played in pinstripes.
The Bahamian-born 26-year-old drove in five RBIs with two homers, helping the Bronx Bombers edge the Phillies 7-6 in 12 innings. After homering twice in Monday night’s 14-4 win over Philadelphia, including a ninth-inning blast hit with Aaron Judge’s bat, Chisholm became the first Yankee to belt four homers in his first three games with the team.
The Yankees newly acquired third baseman hit a solo homer off Aaron Nola in the sixth inning and a three run dinger off Matt Strahm in the seventh.
“That’s sick, to be part of the history of the New York Yankees,” Chisholm said. “It’s one of the sickest things anybody in baseball could hear.”
