VIDEO: DJ LeMahieu Slugs Leadoff Home Run Against the Orioles
By Michael Luciano
They don't call him The Machine--well, Big Fundy--for nothing. New York Yankees infielder DJ LeMahieu continued to decimate AL East pitching Tuesday night as he gave the Yankees a quick 1-0 lead over All-Star lefty John Means and the division rival Baltimore Orioles when he slammed a home run deep into left field on the first pitch the home team saw.

LeMahieu's home run was round-tripper No. 19 and RBI No. 81 on the season, which are both career bests for the former Colorado Rockies All-Star.
With how hot he's been as a constant fixture at the top of the Yankee lineup, LeMahieu's offensive spurts to kick off games are amazing the Yankees fanbase.
That was DJ LeMahieu's 400th leadoff home run this season.

While LeMahieu is a cyborg, you have to feel for the Orioles. Even with their All-Star rookie on the mound, the Yankees have their number and continue to decimate them. Pour one out for manager Brandon Hyde when you get the chance.
