New York Yankees Unleash Historic Offense with Nine Runs in an Inning
Yankee Stadium witnessed an unprecedented offensive spectacle on Wednesday, as the New York Yankees managed to score nine runs in a single inning, an episode that lasted 41 minutes, sealing a dominant 11-2 victory over the Washington Nationals. The offensive explosion began in the third inning with a single by Ben Rice, and quickly intensified with back-to-back home runs by Aaron Judge and Cody Bellinger. Judge’s home run traveled 424 feet to center field, marking his forty-first home run of the season, while Bellinger followed with a 410-foot hit, his number 25 of 2025. Nationals’ starting pitcher Cade Cavalli faced eight batters before being punished with a three-run home run by Ryan McMahon, which took him off the mound after allowing eight runs, seven of them earned. In total, the Yankees sent 15 batters to the plate in that inning, accumulating eight hits, three walks, and a catcher interference play that prolonged the attack. The offensive included a second home run by Ben Rice in the same inning, marking the third time this season that New York hit four home runs in a single inning, a historic record in Major League Baseball.“It was impressive, that’s called hitting,” declared manager Aaron Boone after the game.
