In the fourth inning of Tuesday's game against the Rays, Cameron Maybin launched a solo shot to give the Yankees a 1-0 lead, setting another Major League record in the process.
Cameron Maybin is the 14th Yankee this season to reach double digits in home runs, an MLB record.

The Yankees now have 14 players with at-least 10 home runs, the most of any team in the history of baseball:
- Gleyber Torres (38)
- Gary Sanchez (34)
- Brett Gardner (27)
- DJ LeMahieu (26)
- Aaron Judge (26)
- Luke Voit (21)
- Gio Urshela (20)
- Didi Gregorius (16)
- Mike Tauchman (13)
- Edwin Encarnacaion (13)
- Aaron Hicks (12)
- Clint Frazier (12)
- Mike Ford (11)
- Cameron Maybin (10)
Maybin's home run was also the Yankees' 299th homer of the year, which is already an all-time record.
Home runs are up across the league, but the Yankees have been even more inclined to the long ball all season. Not many fans would have expected Torres to lead the team with 38 homers, or for Gardner to be top-three on the team, setting a new career high with 27 big flies, to this point.
If the Yankees are hoping to make it an even 15 players in double digits, Austin Romine and his seven home runs would be the closest bet the team has left.
