Yankees score 13 runs in one inning during win over Athletics
Summary

The New York Yankees achieved a historic feat by scoring 13 runs in a single inning while defeating the Oakland Athletics 13-8 on May 31 in West Sacramento. All the Yankees' runs came in the third inning, with no scoring in the other seven innings. This remarkable performance ties the MLB record for most runs in one inning with only one team hit, a record that includes the Philadelphia Phillies in 2003 and the Atlanta Braves in 1972. The Yankees became the first team since MLB's expansion in 1961 to accomplish this. MLB’s Elias Sports Bureau verified that the first 12 Yankees batters in the third reached base safely, marking a significant accomplishment. Player Anthony Volpe commented on the excitement of the inning, reflecting on the unique pace of play during that moment.
