Alfonso Soriano homered twice for the second straight night and drove in a career-high seven runs, giving him 13 RBIs in two games while powering the New York Yankees to an 11-3 victory over the Los Angeles Angels on Wednesday.
Soriano hit an early grand slam and became the third player to knock in at least six runs in back-to-back games since RBIs became an official statistic in 1920, according to STATS.
“It’s not bad,” Soriano said, who rejoined the Yankees by a trade with the Chicago Cubs on July 26 after playing for them from 1999-2003.
“It was unbelievable,” said starter Ivan Nova, who pitched 7 1/3 innings on Wednesday, and has gone at least seven innings in each of his seven starts since returning from the minors on July 5. “I’ve never seen that before.”
