Yankees enjoy 13-run third inning
WEST SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Ben Rice had two extra-base hits and four RBIs in a 13-run third inning that was the biggest for the New York Yankees in 21 years, carrying them to a 13-8 victory over the Athletics on Sunday.
The Yankees got the first 12 batters on in the inning against A’s pitchers Jacob Lopez (4-3) and Michael Kelly, marking the first time they pulled that off in nearly 77 years. It was New York’s biggest inning since scoring 13 runs in the eighth against Toronto on June 21, 2005, and was one run off the franchise record set in 1920 against the Washington Senators.
Rice did the most damage with a two-run double and two-run triple, but eight of the nine Yankees batters had at least one hit and one RBI in the inning.
