The New York Yankees showcased an extraordinary offensive performance with a 13-run third inning, leading them to a 13-8 victory over the Athletics in West Sacramento, California. This impressive feat saw 18 Yankees step up to the plate, resulting in 11 hits and four walks, marking the first time in 17 seasons that a team has had 12 consecutive batters reach base.

Ben Rice was a standout player, driving in four runs, while Trent Grisham and Max Schuemann each contributed two RBIs. Cody Bellinger and Anthony Volpe also played crucial roles, each securing two hits, helping the Yankees clinch the series win. Pitcher Will Warren, now 7-1 for the season, allowed three unearned runs over six innings.

This game was only the second instance since 1900 where a team scored over 10 runs in a game with all hits occurring in a single inning. The Yankees last achieved a similar feat in 2005 against Tampa Bay.
