Less than 24 hours after their worst loss of the season, the Yankees have gotten a career game from rookie Ben Rice.
The young first baseman has hit three home runs through seven innings, driving in seven total runs. Rice’s first was a simple leadoff shot, letting the Yankees make a statement to start the game.

Rice’s second home run was even more clutch, a three-run blast that blew the game open in the fifth.
