That topped the 1,142 in June and 1,135 in May.Six of the top seven home run months have been in the last three seasons. August 2017 is third at 1,119, followed by June 2017 (1,101), May 2000 (1,069) and May 2017 (1,060).The New York Yankees hit a big league record of 74 homers in August — the previous mark for any month was 58 by Baltimore in May 1987 and Seattle in May 1999.Minnesota set the season record Saturday with 27 games remaining, Mitch Garver's second home run of the night, the Twins' sixth of the game, raised their total to 268, one more than the New York Yankees hit last year.Big league batters entered Sunday with 5,706 homers, 399 shy of the...

NEW YORK (AP) — Pete Alonso made a friendly offer to Kris Bryant in June, one that gave the Cubs star an appreciation for the Mets slugger's big heart, but even more so for the breakout rookie's big muscles.During a series between the Mets and Chicago at Wrigley Field, Alonso gave one of his specially made 34-inch, 32-ounce birch bats to Bryant. The 2016 NL MVP used it for about a week, and even hit a long homer with it against Atlanta's Dallas Keuchel. In the end, though, the 6-foot-5 Bryant realized he didn't have the might necessary to power Alonso's weapon of choice."The bat he swings is so big, it's so heavy," Bryant said. "He's an animal, man."Alonso is in the midst of a record-setting rookie season. The All-Star Home Run Derby champ broke the Mets' season mark with his 42nd homer Tuesday night, which happened to come against Bryant and the Cubs at Citi Field.A day later, Bryant reflected to The Associated Press on his weeklong trial with Alonso's stick a couple months ago.
