WEST SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Ben Rice had two extra-base hits and 4 RBIs in a 13-run third inning that was the most important for the New York Yankees in 21 years, carrying them to a 13-8 victory over the Athletics on Sunday.
The Yankees received the primary 12 batters on within the inning in opposition to A’s pitchers Jacob Lopez (4-3) and Michael Kelly, marking the primary time they pulled that off in practically 77 years. It was New York’s largest inning since scoring 13 runs within the eighth in opposition to Toronto on June 21, 2005, and was one run off the franchise report set in 1920 in opposition to the Washington Senators.
Rice did probably the most injury with a two-run double and two-run triple, however eight of the 9 Yankees batters had not less than one hit and one RBI within the inning.
