September 8, 2007 - Alex Rodriguez continues to lead the Yankees in their playoff hopes with an 11-5 win over the Kansas City Royals. He homers twice off rookie pitcher Brian Bannister. The first of the homers is his 49th of the year and breaks the record for homers by a third baseman. Previously, Mike Schmidt and Rodriguez (2005) had shared the record at 48 homers. Rodriguez already held the single-season record for shortstops, giving him the high watermark at two positions.
