Rizzo pulls off Yankees first with latest home run originally appeared on NBC Sports Chicago
The Yankees have an illustrious history that dates back more than a century.
But for all the legends to don the navy blue pinstripes, the former Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo accomplished a franchise first on Wednesday.
Rizzo, with a solo home run against the Orioles, became the first Yankees player ever to register an RBI in each of his first six games with the team.
Rizzo is off to a strong start in New York since the Cubs traded him last week. He's hit three home runs in six games and entered Wednesday 7-for-16 in five games since the trade.
