SEE IT: Yankees' Paul Goldschmidt, Cody Bellinger, Aaron Judge crush back-to-back-to-back HRs in first inning

It was a nightmare start for Milwaukee Brewers' Nestor Cortes in his return to Yankee Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

Sluggers Paul Goldschmidt, hitting leadoff for the first time in his career, Cody Bellinger, and Aaron Judge blasted back-to-back-to-back home runs on three straight pitches in the bottom of the first inning to give the Yanks a 3-0 lead.

The broadcast noted it was the first time in team history they hit three straight homers on three pitches to open a game.

To make matters worse for Cortes, the left-hander gave up a fourth home run in the first inning to catcher Austin Wells, making it a 4-0 game.

That gave the Yankees their first four-homer first inning ever.

THREE PITCHES, THREE HOMERS.
