NEW YORK -- Yoenis Cespedes’ bat certainly looked healthy in a record-setting inning on Friday as the New York Mets extended their winning streak to seven games.
Cespedes delivered a two-run single against Jake Peavy and a grand slam against Mike Broadway as the New York Mets produced a dozen runs in the third inning en route to a 13-1 win against the San Francisco Giants at Citi Field.
The 12 runs were a franchise record for an inning, surpassing an 11-run sixth inning against the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field on July 16, 2006.
Cespedes’ six-RBI inning was a franchise record for a frame, surpassing a five-RBI sixth inning by Butch Huskey at Miami on May 26, 1998.
