Two at-bats later for No. 99 and he had tied Joe DiMaggio for fourth on the all-time Yankees home run list when he bashed career No. 360 in the first inning against Tyler Holton and then No. 361 in the third inning against Sawyer Gipson-Long.
The only guys ahead of him are Pinstriped Platinum. Babe Ruth with 659. Mickey Mantle with 536. Lou Gehrig with 493.
