Summary
The New York Yankees’ bats came alive in an historic inning against the Athletics on Sunday, scoring 13 runs in the third inning. Aaron Judge’s pep talk to his teammates sparked the rally, which was fueled by a series of errors from Athletics starter Jacob Lopez. The Yankees had 11 hits, four walks, and four stolen bases in the inning, which was the most since 2005 and one shy of the franchise record.
