In The Big Inning

Do you know how many times the Yankees have scored 5+ runs in one inning this season? Just once - yup, uno..as in one time. Do you know how many times the Yankees have allowed 5+ runs in one inning this season? The answer is seven times.

Here’s how A.L. teams have done, so far, this season, in terms of having and allowing the big inning:

Team	     5+ Scored	5+ Allowed         Diff
Rays		8	      2		 6
Indians		7	      3		 4
A's		7	      3		 4
Red Sox		4	      2		 2
Tigers		6	      4		 2
White Sox		6	      5		 1
Twins		5	      5		 0
Angels		2	      3		-1
Orioles		1	      3		-2
Mariners		3	      5		-2
Royals		2	      5		-3
Rangers		5	      9		-4
Blue Jays		2	      6		-4
Yankees		1	      7		-6

If you have any questions as to why the Yankees record, and place in the standings, is what it is today, here’s your answer. It’s the big inning - something the Yankees bats can’t muster and their pitchers cannot avoid.
