After a lot of heavy rain that delayed the first pitch almost two hours until 9:31 p.m., the Yankees reigned homers in their spring training ballpark. Aaron Judge, Cody Bellinger and Giancarlo Stanton went back-to-back-to-back in the first inning with one out off Rays right-hander Shane Baz, and that was the start of a power show for the ages.

In one night, Stanton tied and passed 1970s-‘80s slugger Dave Kingman on the career home run list, moving ahead of “Kong” with his 443rd, good for 43rd all-time. Next up are Hall of Famers Jeff Bagwell and Vladimir Guerrero at 449.
