    New York Yankees first baseman Anthony Rizzo is the latest member of the 300 home run club.

    During the top of the eighth inning of the 15-5 win over the Milwaukee Brewers on Sunday afternoon, Rizzo turned on a first-pitch fastball, launching it 391 feet for a two-run home run.

    This home run was the sixth of the season for Rizzo and his fourth in the last five games. After a slow start at the plate to begin the season, Rizzo is heating up.

    Over his last seven games, Rizzo has a .407/.429/.926 slash line with four home runs, seven RBI and eight runs scored.

    Rizzo is the 161st player to reach 300 home runs in a career. Yankees captain Aaron Judge isn't too far behind him, sitting at 263 career home runs.
