The New York Yankees turned a close contest in a blowout of the San Diego Padres on Tuesday night at Yankee Stadium.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

According to Sarah Langs of MLB.com, that five RBIs in one inning put Wells in some exclusive company in team history.<\/p>\n

Most RBI in an inning, Yankees in divisional era (1969):<\/em><\/p>\n

\n9\/12\/06 Bobby Abreu: 6, 1st

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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

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.<\/p>\n
