“Lefty-on-lefty violence…Don’t let Rizzo get hot again,” “ORIOLES KILLER ANTHONY RIZZO” - New York Yankees fans can’t get enough of Anthony Rizzo as he crushes homer in first inning against Baltimore Orioles

New York Yankees slugger Anthony Rizzo kept his power going with another home run on Tuesday night Enter caption

Anthony Rizzo, the New York Yankees first baseman with 10 home runs in 2022, reminded us why he's worth the big bucks on Tuesday night. In the bottom of the first inning with two outs against the Baltimore Orioles, Rizzo stepped up to the plate. He let the count slip to 1-2 before tempting Brad Zimmerman to throw an off-speed pitch inside. Rizzo ate it up and drilled it to deep right field.

Nobody in the park had a doubt it was gone. Twitter users watching from home even knew it. Here were their best reactions to the moment.

This New York Yankees fan said Rizzo is an "Orioles killer." He's coming alive this week.

Don't forget that Rizzo, a left-handed hitter, crushed that home run off Zimmerman, a left-handed pitcher. As this user put it, Rizzo committed "lefty-on-lefty violence."

Freddie Freeman is one of the league's biggest stars, but Rizzo has eight more home runs than him this year. That's a big statistic.

Anthony Rizzo HR count : 11

Freddie Freeman HR count : 3

Cashman folks.

Rizzo looked pretty good on the Chicago Cubs, but he looks like a new version of himself on the Yankees this season.

@sizemore023 @bryce_spalding It took Anthony rizzo a couple years and 3 organizations to figure it out

Rizzo's home run tonight was his 262nd in his career. That's better than Carlos Santana, a highly-respected slugger who's now nearing retirement. Rizzo is in good company.

Anthony Rizzo hit his 262nd career HR, passing Carlos Santana and moves into a tie with Danny Tartabull for 215th on the All Time HR list.

With 11 home runs before June, Rizzo deserves your attention, if he didn't have it already.
