NEW YORK -- The New York Yankees became the first team in major league history to hit three grand slams in a game, with Robinson Cano, Russell Martin and Curtis Granderson connecting Thursday in a wet, wild, 22-9 romp over the Oakland Athletics.
On a dreary afternoon, some fans headed home with the Yankees trailing 7-1 after three innings. They missed the Yankees coming home -- over and over and over.
Cano began the barrage with his slam in the fifth off starter Rich Harden, making it 7-6. Martin connected in the sixth off Fautino De Los Santos for a 10-7 lead. Former Tiger Granderson launched a two-out drive off Bruce Billings in eighth.
"It's a pretty crazy accomplishment, when you think about it," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said.
