New York Yankees: Offensive Showcase at Yankee Stadium
New York witnessed a memorable offensive display on Wednesday, as the New York Yankees scored nine runs in a single inning, marking a milestone in their 11-2 victory over the Washington Nationals. The inning, which lasted 41 minutes, demonstrated the team’s batting ability. The offensive began in the third inning with a single by Ben Rice, initiating a series of impactful plays. The climax arrived with consecutive home runs by Aaron Judge and Cody Bellinger. Judge’s home run, which traveled 424 feet to center field, was his 41st of the season. Bellinger followed with a 410-foot hit, his number 25 so far in 2025. Nationals’ starting pitcher Cade Cavalli struggled from the start, allowing eight runs, seven earned, before being replaced. The Yankees sent 15 batters to the plate in that inning, accumulating eight hits, three walks, and a catcher’s interference play that prolonged the attack. The offensive included a second home run by Ben Rice in the same inning, an achievement that marks the third time this season that New York has hit four home runs in a single inning, setting a historic record in the Major Leagues.Aaron Judge highlighted the team’s mentality: “We all had good at-bats, passing the baton without trying to do too much.” Starting pitcher Max Fried (14-5) earned the victory thanks to his solid performance on the mound, backed by an offense that already has 10 home runs in its last three games. With this result, the Yankees closed the series with a sweep over Washington and extended their streak to 11 wins in their last 15 games, consolidating themselves as one of the most outstanding teams in the American League.It was impressive, that’s called hitting
