The New York Yankees became the first American League team in history to explode for 13 runs in an inning and zero for the rest of the game when they dropped the Athletics, 13-8, on Sunday afternoon in Sacramento.The 13 runs in a single frame was one shy of the franchise record set in 1920. The Yankees had scored 13 runs in an inning twice before — both times during the 2005 season.The Chicago White Stockings scored the most runs ever in one inning, plating 18 in the seventh inning of a 26-6 victory over the Detroit Wolverines on Sept. 6, 1883.“Today was one of those crazy games that I don’t know what it was,” manager Aaron Boone told reporters, “but it was a win.”

— YES Network (@YESNetwork) June 1, 2026The Yankees’ first 12 batters reached base in the inning, tying the longest streak in MLB since 1961, according to the YES Network.Right fielder Aaron Judge said he had “never” experienced an inning like that, one in which the Yankees batted around twice and Anthony Volpe was left waiting on the on-deck circle for what would have been his third at-bat.The Yankees’ 18 third-inning plate appearances were the most in franchise history since 1987. They faced three different pitchers (Jacob Lopez, Michael Kelly, Jack Perkins) and 75 total pitches in the inning, which lasted 43 minutes and necessitated starting pitcher Will Warren making the rare move of going to the bullpen to warm up mid-frame.
