Torpedo bats are the explosive new trend in baseball after the New York Yankees set a franchise record Saturday, hitting nine home runs — the first four of which were back to back to back to back — for a 20-9 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers.

The Yankees hit four home runs in the first inning off Brewers starter Nestor Cortes on Saturday, starting with three consecutive homers on three pitches. Their nine home runs broke the franchise record of eight and was one short of the MLB record, 10 homers in a single game accomplished by the Toronto Blue Jays in 1987.
