Yankees slug their way to MLB records in preparation for wild card showdown

The Bronx Bombers lived up to their nickname by hitting more big numbers on the weekend.

Gleyber Torres and Giancarlo Stanton connected as the playoff-bound New York Yankees set the MLB record for most home runs in a season, beating the Boston Red Sox 8-5 on Saturday for their 100th of the season.

"I'm happy for them. They work really hard at their craft, and it's a result of a lot of people having success," manager Aaron Boone said.
