The Bronx bombers are back in a big way. Or at least they are for a day, after Ben Rice‘s three home run game against the Boston Red Sox. It’s the first such game by a rookie in New York Yankees history.
Rice talked with reporters about his historic performance following the 14-4 win.
“Not really a lot of words,” Rice told YES Network on July 6. “Definitely a day I’ll never forget. Was pumped that it was a big time win for us, a good bounce-back win. And over my hometown team.”
Rice put New York on the board with a 390-foot shot in the first inning.

In the fifth inning, he sent one to right centerfield for 406-feet and to score three.

And he put the ball in right center field again in the seventh, solidifying a Yankees blowout win over their historic rival.

It’s a much-needed win for New York, who was previously 4-12 since Rice was called up on June 18.
