Ben Rice started his 2025 season with a bang, stepping in as the Yankees' designated hitter while Giancarlo Stanton remains on the injured list.

It's another day and another record for the New York Yankees offense and the torpedo bats some of their players are using this year. New York faced the Arizona Diamondbacks on Tuesday in its fourth game of the season and wasted no time making early noise with solo home runs from Jasson Domínguez in the third inning and Anthony Volpe in the fourth inning.
