Yankees score 13 runs in one inning against Athletics

The New York Yankees scored 13 runs in the third inning during their game against the Oakland Athletics on June 1, 2026. This scoring surge followed a motivational talk from Aaron Judge, who encouraged his teammates to improve after a slow start. Judge noted that the team needed to wake up after the Athletics' starter, Jacob Lopez, retired the first six batters. The inning included multiple errors by the Athletics and saw the Yankees achieve 11 hits, four walks, and four stolen bases. This marked the most runs scored by the Yankees in an inning since June 21, 2005, and was one run shy of the franchise record for an inning. Yankees manager Aaron Boone described the inning as 'remarkable,' while Athletics manager Mark Kotsay expressed confusion over the events of the inning. The Yankees ultimately won the game 13-8.
