Luke Voit used the force to set two home run records:
The brawny first baseman hit a two-run shot to straightaway center field in the second inning Thursday night against Boston, giving the Yankees a major league-record 12 players with at least 10 home runs this season.
Voit’s homer also was the 246th for New York this year, breaking the franchise mark set in 2012. Entering the game, the Yankees were on pace for 263 home runs — one short of the big league record established by the 1997 Seattle Mariners.
Voit proved to be a very nice trade deadline pickup. The Yankees lead the Red Sox 6-5 after six innings in a game that makes you want the pitch clock.
