Ben Rice Crushes 40th and 41st Home Runs in Yankees' 9-2 Win

New York Yankees first baseman Ben Rice hit his 40th and 41st home runs in a 9-2 win over the Rays, joining Aaron Judge and Joe DiMaggio as the only Yankees to hit 40 within their first three seasons. Going 3-for-4 with two solo shots, Rice tied for the AL home run lead with 41. "It’s a cool milestone," Rice said. His breakout season features a .263/.362/.537 slash line, 97 RBI, and 103 runs, helping the Yankees weather extended absences from Judge and Giancarlo Stanton.
