Burleson’s Three-Homer Thriller | New York Yankees News
Description
Alec Burleson had a jaw-dropping Monday, smashing three two-run homers in a single game against the Yankees — a rare feat that helped the Cardinals rally from a six-run deficit to win 13-7. Despite trade deadline rumors swirling around him, Burleson stayed focused thanks to his manager’s clever trick: pretending he was being traded before revealing he was staying put. The result? A historic performance — the first three-homer game by a Cardinals first baseman since Paul Goldschmidt and the first by any Cardinal since Iván Herrera. Burleson capitalized on the short right-field porch, including a game-sealing blast in the eighth, proving that when players feel secure, they can unleash their best.
