It's a bad day to be a baseball in The Bronx.

New York Yankees sluggers Juan Soto, Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton combined for back-to-back-to-back home runs in the bottom of the seventh inning.

Up 4-3 over the Colorado Rockies in the bottom of the seventh inning, Soto got the party started with a solo shot into the Yankees bullpen in right-center field. It was his 37th homer of the season — a career high.

Judge immediately followed it with a home run that just snuck over the right-field wall. It was his second of the game and his 51st of the season. He's currently on pace to break his own record of 62 home runs in a single season.

Stanton's blast was the most impressive of all three. He absolutely obliterated a middle-away pitch in to Monument Park to wrap up the back-to-back-to-back combo.

The last time the Yankees had back-to-back-to-back home runs was Sept. 17, 2020, when Brett Gardner, DJ LeMahieu and Luke Voit achieved the feat.

This was also the eighth time Soto and Judge have gone back-to-back this season, tying a franchise record. It's currently held by Johnny Damon and Mark Teixeira from the 2009 World Series season.
