George Lombard Jr. homered in his major league debut for the Yankees on Tuesday night. According to ESPN, he became the third-youngest Yankee to hit a home run in his first game. Yahoo Sports reported that after grounding out in the third inning, Lombard stepped to the plate in the fifth and hit a solo shot into the left field seats.
The debut held added significance: Lombard's brother also went deep in his own professional debut the same night, per multiple outlets. Yahoo Sports described the coincidence as "eerie" and referenced the pair as a new set of "bash brothers."
One ESPN report noted the Yankees beat the St. Louis Cardinals 2-0 in the game, though the reporting does not specify whether Lombard's home run was the game's only run or if another run scored separately.
