Thirteen runs in the third inning carried New York past the Athletics 13-8 after Aaron Judge challenged the lineup to “wake up” following two scoreless frames.
Jacob Lopez and reliever Michael Kelly unraveled as the Yankees piled up 11 hits, four walks and four stolen bases in the inning, with 10 runs scoring before the first out.
The burst was New York’s biggest inning since June 21, 2005, finished one short of the franchise record set in 1920 and featured 12 straight batters reaching safely.
That 12-batter streak was the Yankees’ first in an inning since 1949 and left them two shy of the MLB record of 14 consecutive hitters reaching, set by Detroit in 1925.
