The New York Yankees are seriously having a lot of fun on their trip to Camden Yards this week. Mike Tauchman and Mike Ford were some of the breakout stars for the Bronx Bombers against the Baltimore Orioles. On Wednesday, catcher Kyle Higashioka joined in on the fun. With New York already holding a 1-0 lead in the top of the fourth inning, Higashioka took a John Means pitch to deep center field to extend the Yankees lead to 4-0.

To make the feat that much more special, Higashioka's three-run blast tied an MLB team record for most home runs against a single opponent in a season (48).

Yankees play-by-play announcer John Sterling said it best. "Higashioka, the home run stroka."
