The New York Yankees had a historic first inning against the Milwaukee Brewers on Saturday, as they hit four home runs for the first time in franchise history.
Some of the Yankees are using redesigned bats this season and they appear to have made a difference in the first two games of the season.

Sam Dekker and Milwaukee Brewers fans are concerned after watching Nestor Cortes and the pitching staff give up nine home runs and 20 runs to the New York Yankees on Saturday.
Aaron Judge hit the third of three straight homers for the Yankees to open the game before adding a grand slam in the third inning and a two-run shot in the fourth as New York hit a team-record nine homers in an 20-9 rout over the visiting Milwaukee Brewers on Saturday afternoon.
