Italian God Anthony Rizzo Porched The O's Not Once, Not Twice, But Three Times Tonight

Anthony Rizzo was hand crafted by the Italian Gods to be the first baseman of the New York Yankees and pepper the Short Porch with every swing. Tonight that man belted not one…

Not two….

But three homers against the Orioles.

That last one had an expected batting average of .010 and a launch angle of 48 degrees. Rizzo's reaction says it all. 

I don't know if there's ever been a homer hit of that matter but I love it. Get Porched.

Anthony Rizzo is your Major League Home Run leader with EIGHT bombs. That's his first three homer game of his big league career. He was always meant to be a Yankee. The man wanted to come back to New York and now he's mashing.  It's been so long since there's been a real first baseman playing for the Yankees. I'm in love.

Safe to say Tony is feeling good over the ball.
