The New York Yankees came up one short of tying a franchise record after scoring 13 runs in the top of the third inning during Sunday's matchup against the Athletics.

[p]They need just two more to break the record held by the 1920 [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/new-york-yankees/SrC4LDIT/"]Yankees[/a], when they scored 13 runs against the [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/washington-nationals/CE026gRp/"]Washington Nationals[/a]. [/p][p]They didn't hit a single home run in what was a 43-minute top-half of the third inning. The team totalled 11 hits on 73 pitches, recording eight singles, four walks, two doubles, two strikeouts, one triple, and one flyout.[/p][p]New York scored 10 runs before a single out was recorded.[/p][embed guid="e6ae0895-c461-447c-9070-d4feb9777a96" url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TomV0jMmyhw" social-type="youtube" /][p]They are now fourth in runs scored (305), barring any extra runs that come across home plate in Friday's game, sitting behind the Nationals (324), [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/atlanta-braves/0UPxbDYA/"]Atlanta Braves[/a] (316), and [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/los-angeles-dodgers/nwPDBpVc/"]Los Angeles Dodgers[/a] (313). [/p][p]It marks the second time in franchise history that the Yankees scored 13 runs in a single inning. The last time was in the eighth inning against the [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/tampa-bay-rays/GCHgI4hp/"]Tampa Bay Rays[/a] on June 21, 2005, eventually winning 20-11. [/p][p]New York aren't strangers to hitting records. Last season, the Yankees also tied a franchise record after hitting nine home runs in a single game. Ironically, it was also against the Rays.[/p][embed guid="70378177-0506-4080-a09e-695f5ceb7d85" url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GVUM4exBF0g&pp=ygUOeWFua2VlcyByZWNvcmQ%3D" social-type="youtube" /][p]The Yankees headed into Sunday's matchup with a 35-23 record, sitting two games behind their division rival Rays (36-20) for first place in the American League[/p]
