Jones, sporting a new batting stance, hit an opposite-field home run in the top of the first inning. In the top of the third, he did it again, taking a fastball to left field for his 28th home run of the MiLB season and his second of the game. Two innings later, he went to dead center for his third dinger in as many at-bats.

Down on the farm, the New York Yankees have a 6-foot-7 California-born outfielder slapping home runs left, front, and center this season. Between the top two levels of their organization, they actually have two.
