Yankees score 13 runs in third inning to rally past Athletics

The New York Yankees mounted a significant offensive response against the Oakland Athletics on June 1, 2026, scoring 13 runs in the third inning during a 13-8 victory. Following a lackluster start where no hits were recorded in the first two innings, captain Aaron Judge rallied his teammates with a motivating challenge in the dugout. The Yankees' historic inning featured 11 hits, four walks, and four stolen bases, nearly setting a franchise record for runs in an inning, falling just one run short of matching the 14 runs scored in 1920. Despite limited production afterward, the rally established the outcome and marked a memorable offensive performance for the team.
