The Yankees pummel the Pirates 16-0 by blasting 6 homers, including a pair of grand slams last night at PNC Park.
Josh Donaldson and Joey Gallo hit back-to-back home runs for the Yankees in the sixth inning and Kyle Higashioka added a solo shot in the seventh and then Aaron Judge, with a grand slam for his major-league leading 30th home run in the eighth.
With infielder Josh VanMeter pitching in the ninth, Aaron Hicks hit a grand slam and Giancarlo Stanton followed with a solo shot.
The Yankees recorded a season-high 22 hits, including eight in the six-run ninth, and increased their MLB-leading home run total to 139.
The Pirates hit the midpoint of the season with a 33-48 record and in fourth place in the NL Central (12 1/2 games behind Milwaukee) after giving up double-digit runs for the eighth time this season and second time in six days, after a 19-2 loss to the Brewers last Friday.
