Prior to Saturday night, there was only one first baseman who had multiple seven-RBI games for the Yankees, and his name was Lou Gehrig. He had nine, for the record. Now Rice has two. He joins the multi-7-RBI-game club. The Yankees needed all of that Rice production in a crazy 12-8 win over the Cardinals.

The post Yankees’ Aaron Boone gushes over Ben Rice’s ‘seven steaks’ night appeared first on ClutchPoints.

It was the second lineup in a row that featured young slugger Ben Rice at the catcher spot, with Austin Wells increasingly pushed to the side amid a slump at the plate.

Anthony Volpe’s rough season got even worse Friday in a 1-0 loss to the Red Sox. Not only did the shortstop go hitless again to extend his slump to 1-for-25, he got booed after a strikeout in the eighth and made a mental error at shortstop an inning later.

Yankees catcher Austin Wells admits frustration after losing starts to Ben Rice, with Paul Goldschmidt limiting lineup flexibility.

Ben Rice hit a double with the bases loaded to extend the New York Yankees' lead 9-5 over the St. Louis Cardinals.
