New York Yankees Catcher Does Something Rarely Seen in Team History in Blowout Win

The New York Yankees turned a close contest in a blowout of the San Diego Padres on Tuesday night at Yankee Stadium.

Trailing 3-2 in the bottom of the seventh, New York exploded for 10 runs, fueled by a grand slam from Austin Wells. Wells also singled in the inning, giving him five RBIs for the frame. The Yankees won 12-3.

According to Sarah Langs of MLB.com, that five RBIs in one inning put Wells in some exclusive company in team history.

10/4/09 Alex Rodriguez: 7, 6th

Wells, 25, is hitting just .220 this season but he has seven homers and 23 RBIs. A now-integral part of the lineup, he had 24 homers in his 2024 rookie season.

Aaron Judge went 1-for-3 with a homer, his 12th of the season. That puts him in a tie for the league-lead. He’s now hitting .412 as he seeks to become the first player to hit .400 for a season since Ted Williams (.406) in 1941.

Clarke Schmidt pitched well, going six sinnings and allowing just two earned runs on seven hits and one walk. He got a no-decision.

The two teams will play again on Wednesday night with first pitch coming at 7:05 p.m. ET. Max Fried, who’s out to a historic 6-0 start, will take the mound for New York. He’ll be opposed by veteran right-hander Dylan Cease, who is 1-2 with a 5.61 ERA.
