Despite losing their first game of the MLB season, the New York Yankees continued their historic start to the year as they broke multiple records through their prolific home run hitting.

The New York Yankees tied Major League Baseball's all-time record for the most home runs hit through a team's first three games of a season on Sunday, launching four more home runs against the Milwaukee Brewers (GameTracker) to bring their seasonal total to 15.

That brought their home-run total to 17 on the season, which Bryan Hoch of MLB.com noted is an all-time record for the first four games of a single campaign. The previous record was set in 2006 when the Detroit Tigers hit 16. This comes after the Bronx Bombers already tied the MLB record with 15 home runs through the first three games of a season.
