The New York Yankees beat the Athletics on Sunday 13-8, but it was how they beat them that was so unusual:

  • The Yankees put up all 13 runs in the third inning and had zero in the rest of the game, the first time in MLB history that's happened, reports the Athletic. Also strange: the Yanks had 11 hits in the inning and zero in the other eight innings, notes the New York Post.
  • The first 12 batters reached safely, the first time that's happened since 1961, per MLB.com.

  • The 13-run burst was one shy of a franchise mark set in 1920 and just the third time the Yankees have hit that number in an inning.
  • New York sent 18 batters to the plate, saw three pitchers, and forced 75 pitches over 43 minutes. They also logged four walks and four steals in the inning—and had zero home runs.
  • "Today was one of those crazy games that I don't know what it was, but it was a win," says manager Aaron Boone.
