At one point in the third inning Sunday, when Kyle Higashioka homered to make it 9-1, seven different Yankees had hit eight homers in a 11-inning span. Matt Carpenter hit his second of Sunday’s game in the sixth, and Higashioka added his second in the eighth — making it 10 homers in 16 innings.The Yankees led 12-4 by the time the Cubs recorded their first hit with a man in scoring position since Sunday — Ian Happ delivering a single with P.J. Higgins at second base.
