Well, hopefully the Brits dig the long ball.
After the Yankees put on an offensive show to kick things off in their London series against the Red Sox, it was Boston’s turn to pour it on to open things up on Sunday.
Xander Bogaerts and J.D. Martinez clubbed back-to-back home runs off New York “opener” Stephen Tarply, then Christian Vazquez joined in on the party to help Boston take a 4-0 lead after one frame at London Stadium.
Bogaerts kicked things off with a two-run dinger.

Two batters later, Vazquez cashed in, sending one over the wall to right field.
